[comp.sys.sun] HP plotters + SPARC stations

c2p@stc06.ctd.ornl.gov (PERKINS C C) (10/08/90)

My organization has developed a desire to drive an HP DraftPro (for which
we have no documentation) from our SPARCstations.

Does anyone out there know anything about driving one?  First, I am aware
that it probably takes HPGL... fine.  Our GKS server produces HPGL on
demand (well, at least it's supposed to).  The things that I know I need
to know are: what ttytab entry is good for the DraftPro, what baud rates
correspond to what settings of the dip switches on the back, what other
dip switch settings should I set, what flow control mechanism does the
DraftPro use, and any other niceties that might bite us.

Please reply by any method which makes you comfortable. If there's
interest, I'll summarize all replies - and even post our experiences if
anyone wants to see them.

Thanks in advance
