I think you should download GhostScript/GhostView from any GNU distribution
site. Having its sources you'll be able to see how graphics printing is done.
Also, GhostScript is PostScript interpreter, so you'll have what you're
looking for. If you want to see how the graphics printing is done for
Epson-compatible printers, there's a sample source file from Borland
(unfortunately I don't remember its number - it's in TI* Borland series). You
may download TI*.ZIPs from one of the Borland's URLs:

ftp://ftp.borland.com

Good luck, Mark
