Excellent, so I could write a IJS client in my application.  I think
Cairo can generate image surfaces, so once I figure out the image
format, it should be possible to send a raster image directly to the
HPIJS server.  Seems doable.  I'd really like to skip ghostscript as
cairo will likely be much more efficient at rasterizing an image on a
low power ARM processor.

Thanks,
Cliff
