	Does this mean that given a printer utility making an Epson colorprinter
emulate eighter a color Postscrip or a HP-Paintjet one could be able to get
color output. 

	(I'll descibe how it might be done (theoreticaly))

	1. Install HP-Paintjet (or color Postscipt) as your windows printer.
	2. Printing to file (instead of LPTx).
	3. Using the earlier mentioned utility to print out the resulting file.

	If this would work is there an HP-paintjet/color Postscript emulator program
for Epson 24-pin colorprinters (or in my case STAR LC 24-200 color) anywhere??

PS I know HP makes superior stuff. But the price for home use is kind of steep.
   At work we have HP 300/800/700 workstations and LaserJet II/III printers + 
   plotters.
