Xprinter 2.0 is what you need!  It provides an Xlib printer interface for PostScript and PCL,
In your situtation, all you would have to do is change XDrawLine to XpDrawLine and
add the logic for opening the printer.  It's that easy!!!  

For a demo: ftp to ftp.uu.net and get vendor/Bristol/Xprinter/xp.sun4.tar.Z

For more info:  email to info@bristol.com
