Plotters
Plotters
(OP)
I think this is the best place to ask about drafting tools.
We have a Hewlett Packard DesignJet 450C full sized colour printer. This is no longer supported by Hewlett Packard on Windows 7 64 bit. We may have to buy a new plotter to replace our otherwise perfectly functional plotter.
Does anybody have experience with other plotter manufacturers, and their support of old machines on new, up to date operating systems?

RE: Plotters
Alternately, there must be a way to connect it as a local printer to an old XP machine and share it - although your IT group might balk.
Is there a driver for Linux?
RE: Plotters
I looked up Linux support. It might be supported by GhostScript, which is how Linux prints. This allows me to take it home, assuming the company will let me, and assuming I can find somewhere to put it. Not likely.
A print server might work, if I can talk someone into it.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
