Hello,

Nice that you come back on the issue.

Yes I'm still using your script succesfull.

Yes there is one problem with the script.
If I have a drawing wit a PNG picture in it, the script is not working
correctly.
I have to put all the CutContour Lines at the TOP of the drawing, so when
I looke in the eps file I have to put the CutContour lines at the beginning
off the EPS file. The script does something with the PNG files. That no
problem for me when I now it.

I'm verry pleassed with this script and I work no totally with Inkscape!!
Greate Programm. Thanks.

Every grand Printer/Cutter have a postscript RIP. They all work the same
according Adobe Postscript II or III. With this script you are universal.
What is missing ofcours are settings for the line colour etc in this
script. I use ( Rgb 255,0,255 ) that should be a setting, and the name
CutContour also. Some rips are looking at the LINE THICKNES. Then you are
universal as a EPS or PS.

The printing part for A roland printer is PCL and the Cutting part is
HPGL. But they use special codes at the beginning of a PCl or HPGL output.
Its verry hard to find out these codes. The manifactuur will not give those
codes FREE. I my free time I try to find these codes. I have now 70 % off
these codes for my Printer/Cutter.

To make a plugin will be hard.
HPGL output will help some CUTTERS ofcours. For me and many others is a
good EPS or PS essential. XARA for example is a good programm but it makes
verry bad EPS and PS files. Not usefull at all.

To PRINT a document from inkscape in postscript with your script, would be
helpfull.
