  BubbleTools Printer Filters
-------------------------------


The BubbleTools are a set of printer drivers which convert G3-Fax, PBM and
PPM-color files into printable data. Printers which should work with these
tools are:

      Cannon Bubble Jet printers (tested on BJC-70).
      IBM Proprinter X24E (tested on BJC70 in emulation mode)
      Epson LQ1550 (tested on BJC70 in emulation mode)
      Epson Stylus (not tested)

and compatibles.

I have written the programs with the Canon BJC-70 which claims to emulate
either an IBM Proprinter X24E or an Epson LQ1550. The programs run fine there.
On other printers, your mileage may vary...

This package supersedes the old g3bj/g3lq package. Please note that the command
line switches have changed a bit. Be sure to read the new manpage.
The old package may vanish from sunsite some day.
