Keep in mind that hpgl is not PostScript. Hpgl doesn't have scalable fonts.
Personally I believe it is easier to find a real PostScript printer than it
is to get PostScript output on a hpgl printer. The two devices are just not
the same.
Pure graphics have a better chance of getting converted, anything with text
is going to be the toughest.
Good luck.
