A new C program to print MacPaint documents on Imagen printers has
been made available on SUMEX for FTP.  The source is stored in

	[sumex]<info-mac>paintimp.c		(approx 6.5 Kbytes)

Paintimp is usable with each of the 240, 300, and 480 dot/inch
Imagens, and also features side-by-side printing of two pictures
per page, at 66% reduction (50% for the 300 dpi model).  

The "-2" option request 2-up printing, and you can specify resolutions
other than 240 by using either "-r 300" or "-r 480".  Use macget -d to
receive the paint document you wish printed.

Currently, paintimp relies on your spooler to prepend an impress
document header on the file; for example,
	paintimp filename.data | lpr -Pimagen -v      (for 4.2 spooler)
or
	paintimp file.data | ipr		(for imagen 4.1 spooler)
may work, or you can add a line to the beginning of the routine
write_imphdr() to write out a line like "@document(language impress)"
to stdout, if your spooler doesn't handle that for you.

Send me any bugfixes/improvements, thanks.  After I'm pretty sure
the code is in good order, I'll post it to net.sources for the uucp
world.
