using pcl2pdf macro in AIX

[daN baueR]

This seems to work. I'm sure it can be done more elegantly but besides
over writing the file will this cause any problems?

I created a printer that first prints to a file, and then I feed that
file to the pcl2pdf macro.

printer10 pdf,hplaser,cat > /vol1/filepro/raw; pcl2pdf
/vol1/filepro/raw /vol1/filepro/output.pdf
