[comp.laser-printers] Laserprinter as plotter?

HP laserjet II supports HPGL, does that mean it can pretend to be
a plotter?

I don't think any of the HP LaserJet printers including the II support
HPGL.  There was a software package mentioned in one of the recent issues
of PC Magazine that allowed you to use the HP LaserJet II as a HP Plotter.
All it did was to trap the HP Plotter commands and translate into equivalent
HP LaserJet commands.
