Probably all of them. There's a program out there called pbm2ppa --
Ghostscript can output PBM files, and HP's WinPrinters apparently use a
format called PPA. HP wouldn't give out the specs to this, but a
self-described protocol hacker figured the format out and wrote
pbm2ppa. You can get it at http://www.httptech.com/ppa/
I have no idea if it's compatible with SCO unixes, but it works fine on
Linux. If it's at all incompatible, fixes should be easy.
