DeskPlotter, from Insight Development Corp, prints HPGL files on an HP
DeskJet printer.  It might be possible to intercept the LPT1: stream
and redirect it to a file.  The format may not be what you wish.

HiJaak, from Inset Systems, offers HPGL conversion to Laserjet PCL format.
Many other input formats (e.g., TIFF, IFF, PCX) are accepted.
