Printing bitmaps using PCL

I am trying to communicate with hp 102 laser printer directly using pcl language. Using the pcl5 quick reference guide, I can print text, set margins, select supported fonts, print monochrome images (1 bit per pixel).

There is no sample in the reference manual for printing images of other formats such as bpp = 4, 16, 24, 32, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction for printing bitmaps of different depths using the pcl command.

Sincerely.

We have Img2PCL.exe (GUI program), ImgCvt.exe (console program), ImgCvt.dll for custom API calls. They convert JPEG or TIFF to various PCL types (standalone, streamed, full page overlays and primitive macros). We could have added .BMP support, but most of our licensees just switched to JPEG or TIFF. For a demonstration, download the PCLWorks software from www.pclworks.com.
