What are some HP Windows-only printers that could be used? 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. -- = Warren Young: www.cyberport.com/~tangent | Yesterday it worked. = ICBM Address: 36.8274040N, 108.0204086W, | Today it is not working. = alt. 1714m | Windows is like that.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
