Hello, How are most of you generating the PDL code (or whatever) to go to the printer? I have an H-P LaserJet MP4 (Postscript) and have already taken .tex files, used the latex->dvi, the dvi->ps and output the ps directly to the printer... Latex, however, seems rather limited compared to Postscript (my first impression). But noone (it seems) actually codes in Postscript, something generally interprets and converts to Postscript (a driver program). All I want to do is write an invoicing program in PERL which uses: 1. Fonts 2. A4 Letter 3. A graphic image (small) at the top. 4. Right aligned text as well as left aligned (and centered). Like I said it seems Latex is rather limited but if that's the way I must go then so be it. ...comments?
