It will, for certain HP printers. Very probably not for the HP 710C that I have, which actually is a windows printer (but has been supported by some enthousiastic protocol hacker). It probably doesn't even have a hardware economode. Hpset probably won't work for Epson or Canon printers either. I started writing a filter that can convert a postscript file to a bitmap that leaves out half the pixels (or more, or less), and turn that into a postscript file that can be printed again. I was wondering if such a beast existed already. It shouldn't be to hard to insert this as a feature into gs I suppose, since it produces a bitmap that is converted to something a printer understands. Would people be interested in a utility that converts postscript into `eco-postscript' bitmaps for this purpose? Eric Meijer -- E.L.
