Assuming you have access to a linux machine with ghostscript installed you want todo something like this: gs -sDEVICE=lj5mono -q -sOutputFile=somefile mcopy somefile a: Now problem is that somefile could be very large (im pretty sure pcl format is rather more verbose than postcript). If you only have access to the windows machine then try and download the ghostscript windows distribution and go from there. hth, Benno -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
