You might try PD1:<MSDOS.PLOT>LASER34A.ZIP through
              PD1:<MSDOS.PLOT>LASER34E.ZIP

This is a stand-alone plotting software package that does 2-d, 3-d, and
scatter plots.  It doesn't generate the points that it plots (thats your job)
but it does accept simple ASCII text files which you can generate with
Lotus, Quattro, Excel, etc.  It generates output for herc, CGA, EGA, VGA, 
epson 9-pin, epson 24-pin, ibm proprinter, and laserjet 2.

If you're not in a hurry you might want to wait a week or two since the author
is planning on releasing version 3.5 soon.  New features include support of 
PCX file format (so you can modify the plots with your favorite paint program)
and support for laserjet 3 RLE data compression format.

DISCLAIMER:  The author is a friend and co-worker of mine. I cannot possibly
             be impartial. I've also written software to support it and 
             therefore have a vested interest in its promotion.
