I am attempting to get a Hewlett-Packard Draftmaster I large format
plotter, model HP-7595A, to work with a PC under Windows NT Workstation
4.0. I have been unsuccessful in finding a WinNT driver for this
device, and other HPGL drivers I have tried (for other HP plotters, from
the WinNT distribution) just don't work. The plotter works fine with my
Win98 computer (in my office) since this OS provides the appropriate
driver. Has anyone in the group faced this particular problem, and
solved it?
Yes, I know WinNT is notorious for having very limited hardware support,
evidently because Microsoft insists they must write all drivers
themselves and thus does not release critical information needed to
write device drivers. Yet another argument for Linux, I suppose.
