Say, Jeff...would you be willing to share your plotter-to-HPGL/2 conversion
program?

Zubair,
Printing directly to an HP printer, without using SQRV or SQRP, whether in
Unix or NT, requires the image to be in HP-GL/2 format.  The gray box will
print otherwise.  The file extenstion is meaningless.  Your signature file
could be JUNK.TXT for all it's worth, as long as the contents of the file is
in the proper format.  Since HP provided the signature font, have you
checked with them to find out what format it is in?  If it's not HP-GL/2,
have them reformat the image for you.  Then everything will work great.  I'm
printing logos and signatures for checks, invoices, etc.  Don't listen if
anyone tells you to get HiJaak to solve your problem.  It produces HP
plotter files, not HP-GL/2.  I bought it, but then had to build my own
converter to translate the plotter output file to HP-GL/2.
