Following the dotted line below is a version of Ed Patterman's
MACIMP program modified for the HP LaserJet.  There are many
enhancements which could be made (and some are listed in the
program), but briefly, you can print at any of the four
resolutions graphics resolutions (75, 100, 150, and 300 dots per
inch).  In addition, you can dump the Macpaint file directly to
LaserJet if it is hooked up via a RS232 line.  The output from
the LaserJet, which uses the Canon LBP-CX engine, looks very
crisp.

The code, as written, is restricted to Decsystem-20's.  For
anyone who is thinking of converting the C version of MACIMP for
the LaserJet, be warned that the LaserJet requires an eight bit
data path with XON-XOFF.  See the list Laser Lovers for more info
on hooking a LaserJet to a Unix machine.  No further support of
this program by this author is anticipated: we only have the
LaserJet on demo and it's leaving tomorrow.
