After months of painstaking effort I have finally managed to use our new
HP650C with grass.  The only problem is that I can't get grass to recognize
the plotter's pen numbers (specifying color).  Apparently Grass only accepts
125 colors, but our plotter can print 255.  I tried using p.chart to print
out a color table so I could at least use Grass's 125 colors, but p.chart
doesn't work on a postscript plotter.  Any suggestions?

Also, when I write a script file for the map and specify the raster map color
by name (e.g., aqua, red, green, etc.), the plotter ignores me and prints the
default colors from the colortable.  Oddly enough, it will print whatever
color I choose for a vector file.  HELP!
