I'm trying to write a plotter driver for a Motif application. The manual that came with my 7475A is not technical enough, and I was wondering if there is any developer documentation available from HP with a complete specification of HPGL. All the computer dealers in my area are clueless with respect to this, so thanks in advance. Since I don't normally read this group, please respond via email.

There are differences between HP-GL(-I) plotters. For HP-GL/2 (pubs available Feb '90): HP-GL/2 Reference Guide 5959-9733 HP-GL/2 Comparision Guide (hardware) 5959-9734 If you are an Independent Software Vendor, you can also get information about HP's plotter ISV program from Cheryl Carrasco, at HP San Diego Division, (619) 592-4697.
