It's very simple indeed. But GhostScript already includes a BJ10 driver. The only problem is that this is said to work only for the MS-DOS version. Last week I wrote on a rainy evening a new driver for my simple non-standard laserprinter (able to do simple bitmaps). I took the included HP Laserjet/Deskjet driver as a base. -- -- Jos Vos (UUCP: ...!{uunet,mcsun,hp4nl}!nlbull!jos) -- Bull Nederland NV, Product Support Unix, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
