Thanks for the very quick explanation and advise.
However we are not able to convert the CGM file to

As the Application (Landmark OpenWorks) just generates
a CGM file and then does a lp -dPrinter FileNmae
Looks like I am going to have to remove Gutenprint
and look to see if I can find some other ppd file for the DesignJet
