Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] old plotter

Calcomp is still around, though they've apparently changed their name to
Calgraph.

I recently acquired a Calcomp techjet, (36" inkjet plotter), and have
been trying to find drivers for it.

The two best resources I've found are:
http://www.printer-drivers.com/companies/186.htm
http://www.calgraphinc.com/Support/cgdrivers.htm

Winline is supposed to support Calcomp stuff too, but I've had no
success with the demo, Your experience may vary.
http://www.winline.com/

Good Luck.

If you get anywhere, let me know. I'm stumped as far as my plotter goes.
