Well, not having read FAQs: He wants HPGL, not HP-PCL! Plotters do not come
as matrix printers - that is until recently, until the invention of
bubble jet plotters :-)

>>You didn't mention why you would want to do such a thing.

One reason I can give you - not the original poster of the question:
One of my programs sorts through tons of data and produces ugly looking
PS output. I've a CAD program, which eats HPGL. That would allow me to
import the data, then edit the final looking of a plot before sending it 
to a PS printer again. MAy be an awful way. May be I should resort to
scissors and glue...

I volunteer to take another one :-)
