AFAIK the plotter in question (HP9872) only exists as

Anyway, the OP has the HPIB plotter. I don;t think he wants to buy
another machine....
Just remembering a snag I ran into. A plotting package I'd used made
extensive use of the HP-GL "extras" and darned near drove me crazy
trying to figure out why the HPIB plotter wasn't drawing the pretty
pictures I told it to. It wasn't until I started dumping the HP-GL
being sent and checking it with the plotter reference manual that I
discovered the difference.
