    Hello,

    I am new here, and on a search for information about plotting with
    HPGL. I have acquired an old plotter that has no software or drivers,
    and am thinking I have to issue plot commands directly via something
    like DOS, or write a driver, or find some other means of getting it to
    work. So this is the most basic of questions about using HPGL: by what
    means are commands sent to the plotter? A text file? A driver within a
    given OS? I have a PC, a cable, and a plotter. What do I do next?

    :)

    More info please
    What make and model of plotter, what OS, what software would you like to
    print from. etc. etc.
    you may find it easier than you think.
