Often I have come across good quality half-tone type images printed
using laser printers. Can someone provide info about such software for
converting 8 bit gray level images stored in memory into printer output.
Thanks. ( would appreciate public domain if available ).

If the image is stored in one of the many formats that 'xv' recognizes,
then you can just call up the image using 'xv' and resave the image using
the postscript option in 'xv'.  Then print this image to a postscript
printer using lpr

If the image is a raw image, I find the following set of commands useful:

	raw2fbm -w(width in pixels) -h(height in pixels) <image> image.fbm
	fbps -w(width in inches on paper) <image.fbm> image.ps

Then print out image.ps to the laser printer using lpr

Hope this helps
