OK I worked out how to drive rastertohp from the command line - and 
checked the pcl output with a PCL viewer and it's OK.

What about lpd?

I know to set the environment variable: DEVICE_URi=lpd://192.168.1.253
but when I call:
lpd 127 psmedley dilbert 1 options=any output.pcl
I get:
ERROR: Unable to reserve port: Invalid argument

So obviously I'm missing something...

Cheers,

Paul.
