Re: Controlling HP printing & Print-Image (SOLUTION)

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

With PRINT-IMAGE, .bmp files ONLY work for .spf files when
viewed, or when using or -printer:wp.  In other words, if
you want to use -printer:hp, you need an HPGL image, and if
you want to use -printer:ps, you need an EPS image.
