Has anyone attempted to write a device driver for the HP 7600 plotter.
It has raster graphics but I'm not sure if one will blow up
ghostscript as uncompressed raster images can easily reach 150MB for a
single color.

Of course the best port would attempt to convert a ps file into a list
of vectors. Has anyone tried that. Which graphics primitives will be
finally rasterized and where does this happen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

max
