I wound up getting my plotter to work with the supplied drivers by using
an older version of pscrpt.dll.

As far as your problems go, I believe some plotters require a start
command (Ctrl-D, I believe). The drivers for my plotter have a "Send
Ctrl-D before printing" option. It must be there for a reason.
In any case, don't give up because you have no luck. It's possible that
there is a specific set of commands required to initialize the plotter.

I would suggest trying to find a manual for the plotter.

If you still can't get anywhere, I'll take the plotter off you hands for
you. ; )
If nothing else, it would be a good test base for learning CNC control
system design and control.
