Well... I don't know in this moment... but I think that this translation 
is not very difficult.

PS is a language based on text. For example: (texto) show.
PCL is "binary". All commands are delimitated by a character (The "Ec", 
that I think that is the 0x0B but I'm not quite sure now). Despite the 
PCL is binary, it is only a little more difficult to read that PS. And 
they are very similar in some cases.

It is curious, because the two languages I need to show are PS and PCL. 
But there are some good PS viewers (evince, gv) but no one of PCL.

I already did it. But I have a very big problem: I can't understand the 
architecture of evince. ¿Can you give me a little "how to begin"?

I have began to think that it is easier for me to build a PCL2DVI 
converter, and to use a DVI viewer. Maybe this can be a first step for 
the PCL plugin for Evince. ¿What's your opinion?

Thank you again
