Heinz W. Schmidt, hws@icsi.berkeley.edu, writes, about sending compressed images to postscript printers: >> Before we start writing anything, has anybody ever done something like that? >> Especially is there a postscript program to decode fax Group3 encoded >> bitmaps? Adobe has. The "level 2" spec for postscript includes both binary compressed transmission to the printer, and fax images. These are implemented as "filters." "CCITTFaxDecode" produces binary data from fax encoded data. Likewise "DCTDecode" works with a JPEG standard. I think I have seen ads for level 2 printers, but you'd have to check about availability. .'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.
