HPGL2 printing
HPGL2 printing
(OP)
I have a little understanding of this printing style/language. I have changed work sites and unfortunately I have a much lower quality plotter (hp designjet 500+HPGL2) than what I'm accustomed to (hp designjet 5500ps). I am unable to print a pdf sent to me from a subcontractor. I tried a pdf I created from AutoCAD and it still won't print.
I downloaded a non-HPGL2 driver and the printing speed increased by two-folds, but now I am not going through the print server (which is a no-no).
What is the deal with this HPGL2 stuff? How can I print a pdf? Why does it print so much slower?![[thumbsdown] thumbsdown](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/thumbsdown.gif)
I thought HPGL2 was old technology and obsolete. I'm running Windows XP Pro.

I know it's not 100% related to AutoCAD, but I figured I'd start here and see if anyone knows how to make this work. IT isn't really familiar with the difference between HPGL2 & Post Script.
