I pay respect to Sung's and Tadashi's work, but wouldn't it be easier to
buy a PostScript extension for your printer then (if you would have to buy
the Graphics Software anyways) ?
If you don't have this option (because you lack the money or because the
extension is not distributed for your printer), you should be aware of
several public domain ghostscript derivatives that do the same job (except
for point b, of course). This is especially important as there do not only
exist plot-files in the postscript page description standard. The
ghostscript-type software will be able to interpret ANY postscript-page you
feed them.
