However, I'd like >to print on the A3 pages on my Epson Stylus Pro XL,... Applications, such as MS Word, Excel, Power Point..., have graphic insert filters for HPGL. Corel will also import HPGL files. There are printing programs that interpret HPGL & HPGL/2 files. Print Gl is a shareware program that will do this. I use Print A Plot which does the same thing, but cost more. I also have a program called Squiggle designed for changing the line characteristics of HPGL & HPGL/2 files. However, it not a requirement to change the line style, and the files can be read in and printed to the system printer. You also get an on screen preview with the capability of resizing and moving the image. You can also export in BMP and WMF. It is a very flexible program, and has several more functions. HiJaak will also read HPGL files, although Squiggle is the only one I have that will read HPGL/2 files. Just some additional ways of doing things. Rich
