(Sorry, I tried to mail this but it bounced)

I'm one of the authors of PLT:.  What do you mean when you say it's not
quite what is being sought.  It does exactly what you say you need:
"... alternative 'convert' HP output to drive Amiga supported printers ..."
PLT: takes HP-GL input and prints it on any amiga supported printer.
If that's not what you need, could you explain further?
