Subject: Plotter file (multi-pen) output to LW or LQ printers?



How may one obtain plotter file output on Apple's Laser Writer or LQ
printer's? In other words how can obtain multi-pen (ie differing pen
width and/or colour) output on these printers.

Is it possible to setup/configure either of these printers to recognize
different pens in plotter files? 

Does a program exist which may translate plotter files to a format
(ascii or postscript etc ...) that allows for multi-pen output
on the printers in question?

Any advice, pointers etc ... will be appreciated. Thanks!
