How do I get DECW$PAINT to print to a LN03PLUS on a different node ?

    The LN03Plus doesn't understand PostScript (TM) format; you'd need an
    LN03R or an LPS40 to handle that.  Paint only outputs X11, DDIF, or PS
    format.
    
    I'm not aware of any converters that take DDIF or PS format to SIXEL,
    which is what you'd need to print DECW$PAINT pictures on the LN03Plus.
    There is a utility called PSPRINT (aka DECprint) which does exactly
    what you want, but I don't know if its an external product.

Paint will also output Sixels.  Bring up the print dialog box and choose 
ANSI2 as the print format.  If the "Delete File When Printed" option is not
set, a .six file will left in the current directory (if it is writeable) or in
SYS$LOGIN (on VMS) or /tmp (on Ultrix).

    DECimage Application Services for VMS ...
    
    	$ image render/destination_data_type=sixel file.ddif
    
    DECimage Application Services for Ultrix has a similar C-Shell command.
