Does anyone out there in Netland have any experience with using an HP Plotter no. 7475A with Xenix? I don't see anything about plotters in the documentation. The PRO documentation devotes very little discussion to graphics devices and none to plotters. I am running the plotter from a serial port. I sent a minor script to it that I converted from a basic program that HP provided to an awk program. It seemed to do fine. All it did though was send a line that said "communication OK". But when I create a graph in PRO and send it to the plotter I get part of the graph and then the plotter goes haywire and zips a couple of tangent lines across the page and stops. At that point the error light is on and I have to reset it. I am using a driver that came with PRO for a HP Color Plotter. This may be the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks =Ralo-> Please email me and I will accumuatate responses and post if note worthy.
