HP-GL on HP 120

I run AutoCAD and just bought a Designjet 120. I'd like to be able to print some of my archives that are HP-GL/2 files but the 120 does not support it. Has anyone heard anything about HP supporting HP-GL on 120s?

 

Sounds like you've discovered the downside of archiving in .plt format
rather than .dwg ...

ZEH Software provides a software RIP for the 100 and 120 (130 coming soon) that supports HP-GL, HP-GL/2, plus several raster formats. You can read about it in the HP Global Solutions Catalog:

And purchase it from ZEH's web site:

You could print from an (HPGL/2) plot file viewer. For instance
Viewcompanion (www.softwarecompanions.com). This viewer can also be used to
convert your files to PDF, to view/print them in the future with the Adobe
(Acrobat) viewer.
