I doubt they have any kind of a trial version. I figured the price of a new plotter was much greater than getting a driver for it. It's not like many people are going to buy this package, so they charge accordingly. I'm not a big XP fan, but I did do a quick search and it appears that it is supported. You can always post a question to their technical support.
