Hi netters,

There is a Hewlett Packard Paintjet XL300 Postscript Printer already 
installed in our department.
How can I install it to GRASS so that I can use all the ps. and p. 
commands.?

As far as I know there are only 3 printer drivers available 
(according to the g.help/printing maps/supported printers):
a)Tektronix 4696, 4 color inkjet
b)Shinko CHC-635  color ribbon
c)Epson LQ-2500

On the other hand in the directory
source/src/paint/Drivers I found directories such as:
diablo.c150
zerox4020
tek 4695
tek 4697 ...etc

I guess that these directories are also drivers for the respective 
printers.
Does this mean that we need a specific driver for the HP Paintjet 
XL300?
What do we have to do ?
Can any of the supported printers emulate the above HP?
Thanks in advance for your help
