in reply to Printing simple graphics

I don't know much about postscripting in Perl, but here is what you get when you search on "postscript" on CPAN. If you want to generate your calendar as a graphic, I'd suggest one of the modules you'd find under GD.

To print PS to a non-PS printer, yes you will need ghostscript, but that will get handled transparently under most Linux distributions these days (your printer filter will be set up to make it transparent).

    Just a small addition: ghostscript is supported on both windows and linux, so that shouldn't be a problem. Ghostscript does not print .gif files (because of the unisys-patent issue), but neither does GD generate .gif files...
