Hi, I'm trying to create an insurance form that an applicaiton that I'm writing can download to a HP LaserJetIIIp as an overlay. Data from the program will be laid over the form in the printer, then printed. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is, but I thought CorellDraw might have a feature for creating / converting the graphics to PCL, the HP printer language. Is there some facility for this in CorelDraw? -Andy

From there you give the file a name (and of course take note of where it was stored on the drive for future usage). Our HPGL export conforms to the HP7475A specs. Kelly

Andy, If straight PCL is all you need, you ought to be able to connect a PCL driver to FILE: and print to disk, right? You'd have to do some editing to the file afterwards, though. Steve
