If I understand your request correctly and if you're running HP-UX then the 
answer is simple.  There is a sample program in /usr/lib/formatters/pcl, I
beleive, that uses starbase library calls to do this.  It works with the HP
Laserjet as well as other printers such as Line Printers.  The name of the 
program is bmprint.  You have to play with the associated configuration file
to get what you want, but its pretty straight forward.
