This is just an idea, but you could simply send the file to the print
spooler, no ? If the print spooler was installed with regular filters
and a proper PPD file for the target printer then the GIF file would be
simply printed 'as is' to the printer. A system call could send it,
something like:
my $erroCode = system ("lpr test.gif");
Cheers,
