for what it's worth i've recently discovered that this free
downloadable SW below will drive an HP plotter (haven't tried it
yet). i have 2 HP plotters i plan to convert to vinyl cutters with
addition of a knife holder. if anybody pursues this please stay in
touch, i'd like to hear about it.

a neat little FREE program that is a cutter driver and has SW that
will vectorize. the parent company is defunct and the SW is therefore
free and unrestricted. must always select to run in the 'trial' mode
each time, but this is same as full mode and will provide all the
features. there is even a current forum to discuss using the SW.
