SuperCalc 3A does all of this, I think.  I used it with an HP 7475 a few
years back and it does an excellent job.  It has very nice plotter fonts
too.

It requires an enhanced Apple IIe, or a GS (I think there was a patch to
make it work with the built in serial port).

SuperCalc 3A is a spreadsheet, by the way, and is from Computer
Associates, formerly Sorcim.
