[Coco] M.E.S.S. Printing

I was just wondering if anyone has figured out how to print graphics in
MESS.  I have figured out how to print to a file, which works fine for
text documents.  I want to print several Cocomax drawings on my inkjet
printer under Windows XP.  I used to have a Star Gemini 10X and Cocomax
has the driver for this.  When I print to file, it makes the print file
about 32k in size.  Evidently this is in Gemini 10X printer graphics
format.  I need to figure out how to convert this file into a bitmap or
anything useable by windows that can be printed.  The print file data
does not look that complicated (hexadecimal).  Has anyone written a
DOS/Windows utility to convert any coco printer graphics formats into a
standard image type?  (It'd be pretty cool to make the print file's
pixels round dots on a full page bitmap about the size of a 9-pin
printer's) Thanks!
