Hello -

This problem has probably come up before.. but as a recent reader of
comp.graphics, I missed the solution.  Cross-posted to c.s.i.p.m. as
it relates there as well.

I've got a bunch of TIFF files I want dumped to an HP-LJ II.  The
files were recorded in 300 dpi; one of the viewers I have says the
image is 2544 x 3282 x 2.  And as the images were scanned in
white-on-black, I would like to invert the image as well.

I've looked at several packages claiming to convert TIFF to PCL; the
best I've seen does 75 dpi, and that loses details (these are
electrical schematics).

Pointers to low cost PC-based software that could handle TIFF --> PCL
conversion to at least 150 dpi would be appreciated.
