I have an HP-compatible plotter for color Windows output.  The
Windows driver for plotters doesn't do complex clipping.  For
example, if you overlay a red circle in the middle of a black box,
the plotter draws the entire black box, then draws the red circle --
which of course is invisible -- red ink on top of black ink equals
black.

I talked to Micrografx customer support, and the guy there said that
they were looking into a driver that fixed this problem, but it
wasn't an announced product.

Does anybody have a plotter driver that does clipping?
