Hi,
Although I can print GRASS ps.map images on my hp 650c, I am not able to
produce large complex plots. When the PS file is bigger then about 7
megs, my plotter gives an out of memory message, and does not produce
any output at all. A solution that might solve the problem is by
using ghostscript. However, a sample plot produced by ghostscript only came
out partly correct. After a few proper looking inches, the plotter
produced garbage. I am quite sure that the binary file was not
converted to ascii or something like that, so I suppose I have
configured ghostscript wrongly. Can someone give me a clue on how to
convert a postscript file to DesignJet HPGL?Thanks,

I use ghostscript to convert postscript files to RTL format for the
Designjet using the following command line:
gs -sDEVICE=dnj650c -sPAPERSIZE=archE -sOUTPUTFILE=filename.rtl filename.ps
where archE is 34"x48". Many other papersizes can be specified.
I've successfully plotted 100MB postscript files using ghostscript on a 650c
plotter with only 4MB of memory.
