This one has me stumped. I have setup all of my other printers fine but they are postscript. I have a HP DraftProPlus pen plotter that I use with AutoCad (which I hope will be supported someday under cxoffice). I would like to use it with Visio. Currently I have to go over to the one windows machine to use Visio to print to this plotter.
How do I setup an HPGL (not PostScript in any way shape or form...) printer driver?
Have happy holidays!

There's no way to generate HPGL with CrossOver, so your only hope is to setup a cups queue that has a ps -> hpgl filter in it. Does linuxprinting.org list a driver for your printer?
Huw.

Hmmm - looks like they have a pstoedit in foomatic that has hpgl output. I'll give it a whack and see how things turn out.
OORN - Are there any plans to support AutoCAD in CXoffice? {hoping against hope}
Thanks!

Matthew,
At the moment, we are not developing support for AutoCAD, but that might change in the future.
