Re: HP 7475 plotter

Hi Marv,

Couldn't have been that much! I bought one in '84. Maybe $1400 LIST,
don't recall. I got in under an HP employee discount. I still have
mine. "PRINT" under most windows programs often offers a variety of
printers, including HGPL, and you can usually select save as file.
Print to this file, then "copy" file to comm port.

I can watch the plotter for hours! I had thought of getting another one
(surplus), and using the parts.
