You can try GhostPCL and see\nif it works for you: [link\|http://www.artifex.com/\|http://www.artifex.com/]\n Currently downloading GhostPCL

I was on my way to posting about this after some googling. Hope it works! Cheers, Scott.

The converter does not recognise -sDEVICE=pdfwrite pcl6 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=test.pdf test.pcl It lists all the valid choices for -sDEVICE but pdfwrite is NOT among them. Without this option, the converter appears to run perfectly, but the output is actually another PCL file and not a PDF file as I wanted.
