I suggest to use plain PostScript; there are even layout frameworks* for that. You need just some PS files, no installation, no intermediate format: Write PS code and copy it to your printer. Hm, but the printer must convert PS to its internal pixel format, that means a lossy conversion... *) http://www.tinaja.com/post01.asp#gonzo (I used that once for auto-generating simple newspaper ads.) One of the major advantages of plain PostScript over PDF is, that PS is a complete programming language and you can even write your own printer-destroying virus. Nice! Greetlings from Lake Constance!
