I'm terribly sorry to bother anybody with this request.  I've read this
group for a couple of months now, and successfully brought up the TeX 3.0
release on my Sun.  I have both a postscript printer and one of these 
new-fangled HP PaintJet Colour printers and was wondering (as I
cannot find one) whether you folks knew where I could find a DVI 
converter for it.  It's an amazingly simple to drive raster device
so I can't imagine that the driver would be difficult to write, its
just that I'm supposed to be doing real work here ...

It also occurs to me that a super driver could read say up to 8 .dvi
files at once, and use the colour facilities of this printer.  The
printer can print on to special (read expensive) transparencies so
this means I could do my overheads in SliTeX and print them in 
one go! Hurrah!

Here's hoping,

Justin Shuttleworth
