Where did you get the PS fiel? Generated it yourself with the script?
I'm not on the kernel 2.4 yet, but I'd like to get my hands on the PS or HP file. Can you help me?
Bitmaps, CMYK or other are actually no-brainers for wide format printers. They render vector formats into bitmaps anyway.
So converting one linear bitmap format to another is nothing.
Rasterizing a large vector file is what take time. And memory, lots of it.
What baffles me is the choice of vector. PS is good at page-setting, not at drawing. It's no wonder it took so long for a printer to render that from PS.
Doesn't it strike anyone else as... well not really smart, to print this in PS ?
For ze dUdes out there, large printers are called plotters, and they prefer languages like HPGL/2-RTL, CALS or even straight TIFF. Much better suited languages for that kind of work.

O they do, I didn't say that. It's just not as efficient a language for vector drawing. Very good at page setting, and vector text.
