Some versions of Paint Shop Pro can read HPGL files (I think you
must rename them to a '.hgl' extension). The software creates a
bitmap and draws the HPGL graphics into it. I think you can scale
it all up to get less pixellation, and with a careful choice of
scale and printer resolution, it works quite well.
