My setup very similar to yours: > Hardware: 9000/375 > OS: HP-UX Rev 7.0 > Plotter Interface: HP-IB >Things I have tried: > > a) both plotter models for HPGL in /usr/spool/lp/model. > Neither model made a difference. The only model file that I know of that should be used with a 7595a draftmaster is the /usr/spool/lp/model/hp7595a model file.. You can either run SAM or edit and run the /etc/mklp script. If you updated to 7.0 then you might need to copy /etc/newconfig/mklp to /etc/mklp. I prefer using /etc/mklp because of the control that I have over the spooling system. in case you need this my /dev/plt7595 looks like the following: crw------- 1 lp bin 21 0x070500 Oct 12 10:38 /dev/plt7595 The above information can be found in the "Peripheral Installation Guide" under the "adding plotters and other graphics devices." Goodluck and please post a reply. Thanks. glenn saito BTW, the 300 is being used as a printer spooling/tape access system that currently has 2 7550 plotters, 1 7595a draftmaster plotter, 1 2566A impact printer, 1 2684D laserjet printer and 1 7978 magtape drive. It's also used for other things, but it handles all the plotters and printer just fine.
