I have to find a solution to convert a PCL file to a PS file.
I'have found some application but they are expensive.
Besides I need to do this in command line.
If somebody know a solution, I would be very happy to know it.

 
Use GhostPCL from Artifex Software to convert PCL to PDF and convert PDF to PS using Acrobat Reader. The high level PS generator for Ghostscript is under development now but you can help us to test it.


Your PostScript expert is just a click away.
 
I'm intrested in converting pcl to ps too.
Actually i'm writing a program that sniff all conections of the print server on port 515, and take trace of the pages printed by each ip in the departement.
It's ok with those who send to the printer ps data or even raw text but it's dificult to parse the page number on pcl files, well i'm not sure about that because i don't know pcl format well but it would be easier to convert it in ps first and then parse ps.
