scale problem using ppm-files

  I have a little scale problem in GRASS4.1 and I hope you will be
able to help me.

  I have access to a Canon CLC 10 Color Laser Printer (Canon IPU)
which has a dpi of 400x400. Unfortunately I do not have a Canon CLC 10
driver. In order to solve this problem I do create a ppm-file in GRASS
using p.map. In a second step the ppm-file will be transformed to a
postscript-file using the ppmtops command under pbmplus (written by
Joe Postkanzer).

Why don't you try ps.map instead? Even though it doesn't offer all of the tools
of p.map (or especially of p.map.new), I think you'll find that the output to
be of better quality.
