Hi! I'm looking for a printcap entry for a Hewlett-Packard 7575A large format drafting plotter. Anybody got anything? How about an anonymous ftp printcap/termcap library? E-mail or post will do. Thanks.

Our printcap entries for HP plotters goes like this: (just the plotter stuff) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # hp 7550a table plotter # Plotter is set-up factory default except for xon/xoff handshake # which is set from /usr/local/lib/hp/hp7550a script # (see device set-up in Freelance instructions page A-20) hp7550a|HP|hplot|hp 7550a plotter:\ :lp=/dev/ttyh2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/baytech:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\ :rm=sjrpp:\ :rp=hp7550a:\ :mx#0:\ :br#9600:\ :sh:\ :ms=-parity,-cstopb,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo:\ :of=/usr/local/lib/hp/hp7550a: # Calcomp plotter calcomp|1043gt|calcomp 1043 GT plotter:\ :lp=/dev/ttyh1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/calcomp:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\ :rm=sjrpp:\ :rp=calcomp:\ :br#9600:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :sf:\ :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo: # parallel port Raster Graphics Printer rg|mcp|paralell|mcp paralell port:\ :lp=/dev/mcpp0:\ :sd=/usr/spool/mcp:\ :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\ :rm=sjrpp:\ :rp=rg:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :sf:\ :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff: ------------------------------------------------------------------ cat -v look at /usr/local/lib/hp/hp7550a: #!/bin/csh -f # # hp7550a # # # This is the output filter form use with HP laserjets I and II. # It is called via the of entry in the generic_hp printcap entry # All it does is send the escape sequence to the printer, so that: # /usr/bin/echo -n '$PRINTER2^[.P1' /usr/bin/cat /usr/bin/echo -n '^[.R' if ($status == 0) then exit 0 else exit 1 endif --------------------------------------------------------------- What I'm doing here for the hp7550a is setting it to even parity (with "/usr/bin/echo -n '$PRINTER2^[.P1'" - $PRINTER2 is the second port on the Baytech printer controller). The ":ms=-parity,-cstopb,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo:\" stuff in printcap may need changing for the 7575a. The part of "ms" that's important is "-echo" as without it you'll get "Buffer Overflow" errors and random pen "skews" on your drawings. Hope this helps.
