746.0. "HPGL/LVP16 Drivers?" by OASIS2::BERNARD (Have Gun - Will Travel) Fri Sep 25 1987 20:31

Has anyone run across a driver or converter for HPGL, i.e. a Hewlett Packard
plotter.

I'd like to run an LVP16 off the serial port if possible, to print graphics
files.

    I have often thought about the same thing; for example, plotter
    drivers for converting an application's expectation of an HP or HI
    plotter into some other graphics language.  Any ideas?

746.2Mcad fo HP plottersFRSBEE::COOPERMon Oct 26 1987 09:4320
    
    Just saw this question.  an aplication that uses the HP/LVP16 is
    MCAD.  I got it off of on af the public data bases.  I just got
    started on it this weeked .(oct 24-25) and have had _some_
    success with it.  The file is copied to the SER port and
    the HP/LPV16 interputes the command string.
    
    I'm running a 2000 and using the CLI to initiate the SER copy.
    I'm just getting started so there is still a few _bugs_ to work
    on.
    
    I would also like to find a driver so that I can do a screen copy
    from the system to the plotter using the Amiga driver.
    
    
    I'll keep it going and report here.  
    
    Good luck
    
    
746.3LVP16 RS232 cable/nulled?DNEAST::COMBAR_CURTAyuh! I'm from Maine...Wed Nov 30 1988 13:276
          I am attempting to connect an LVP16 to my serial port on the
    2000. Will I need a null modem cable?  Is there any special wiring
    consideration?  Thanks for your help,

    	I found the need for using mCAD, and was wondering if I could
    use a LVP16. Any success ? What cable did you use ? Hints ?
    
    	Thanks.
