Hi ya'll!
 
I've been experimenting with the new version GnuPlot (3.0) which has 
added (along with other things) a DeskJet printer driver.  I've 
encountered a problem with this driver however.  On some plots 
(usually those that are "busy"), I get strings of characters that 
my DeskJet Plus doesn't seem to recognize as graphics command strings.
  
I've looked at the source code and can't seem to identify the cause
of the problem, although I suspect that failure to handle some difference
in PCL coding between LaserJet and DeskJet printers is the culprit.
   
Anybody have any solutions/patches/fixes for this problem?
