re: "...when I do a reconfig, at the model part of the setup the 7559A
     (driver?) option is not there."

If you are talking about /etc/reconfig, all of the HP-IB and/or RS-232C
HP-GL plotters use the same logical and interface drivers.  Specifying
7585B, for example, should do just fine.

Plotter-specific device handlers are loaded at application link time, and
there are only two of those of interest here:  'hpgl' and 'cadplot'.  I
believe that the 7595A Draftmaster I is supported with either, and that
'cadplot' provides improved performance.
