Dear Mark, I have been having problems using PgS with the HPGL driver V2.2.1 The plotter is a HP7475A – quite old as used an Apple ][. I can not print directly to the SER: to the plotter, the error lamp on the plotter flashes indicating data error. Perhaps it was never intended to work directly and only by copying the plot file directly. If a plot file is created on disk and then copied to the plotter this then works correctly. Of the options "color" "fill" and "stroke" only the "colour" option works correclty and changes the pens. The "fill" and "stroke" options cause very varied results, from no plot to a page of what can only be described as scrible. I could send you the printed results if required. I am only using PS fonts and vector drawings created in PgS. Any ideas from yourself or any other PgS users woudl be appreciated. Seppi Evans, George Thompson Services.
