"The problem arises in that there are only about 12 colors in
the screen image, so I'm creating a five Meg file when I could
actually be creating a much smaller file ... The target printer
is a Tektronics Phaser III that supports Postscript Level II."
The datasrc input to the "image" operator can be an arbitrary
PostScript procedure. You could write a procedure which reads paletted
color, translates to the desired values, and hands them off.
Since it's level II, you could also compress the whole file. See
section 3.13 of the PostScript Language Reference Manual, second
edition.
