Find somebody using a DeskTop program like Ventura Publisher or Page Maker.
These programs are capable of taking almost any kind of graphichs in and
print it out again on any printer. My self I use Ventura for output
generator for GEM draw because i don't like the GEM output program.

    If I remember correctly, Ventura is not capable of reading in a raw
Postscript file and displaying it.  "Image" files (ie.  .PCX) and your GEM
Draw files are a somewhat different matter (and are easily handled by
Ventura).  As for printing, Ventura's print quality on an Epson dot matrix
printer is terrible--Ventura identifies it as a "draft" mode, and they
arn't kidding.  Besides, at $500+, Ventura's a pretty expensive printer
driver.  :-)
