I would be very grateful to hear the outcome of your investigations -
we are looking at using a (commercially operated) Canon BJ-A1 for
generating hardcopy, and that is driven by PS - so if a direct route
to large format PS were found, then we would be in clover.

Does anyone else have experience with one of these?
