using plotter HP7470A

2002-06-27 Thread Patrick M
Once again, I seek for your help.

I recently put my hands on a HP 7470A plotter for a few bucks... It's
supposed to read HPGL file format. I therefore downloaded pdtoedit file
converter, got myself an HPGL file, and did:

# cat ./example.hpgl  /dev/lp0

And nothing happens. Is there a cups driver available somewhere I
didn't look? Has anyone used this device? Any inputs?

Thanks,

PM, 22

Patrick:

I've used a 7475A and a 7550 successfully on Linux (Debian), but both
are attached via serial ports.  Best results were with software flow
control.  I've also driven them via a Windows machine.  I know of no
CUPS driver.  The cat should work.

Linux is a stimulating and productive alternative to other PC operating systems.
