Message-ID: <9APR91.20101292@harpo.pfc.mit.edu> Date: 9 Apr 91 20:10:12 GMT Sender: news@athena.mit.edu (News system) Organization: MIT PLASMA FUSION CENTER Lines: 5 We are contemplating obtain some HP printers which use PCL and PCL5. Are there any pros or cons for using a TeX driver that outputs in those protocols (assuming they exist) vs Postcript? I.e. is the conversion to PCL quicker, or are the files much smaller? Thanks. Mark
