    Took me a while to unearth my HPColorPro Plotter it is a 7440 I 
believe but I use a Winline 7475A Driver to drive it. I have taken apart 
the cable (It has a lable attached says "AT Serial 9-25").
Connections are
25pin M to 9 pin F
2-----------2
3-----------3
6-----------4
20----------1
5 to 8          6 to 8
Which is to be expected & there is a Large Friendly lable that I stuck 
on the front of the plotter reminding me to set the Comport to Hardware 
control, The Dip switches are set to 9600Baud etc & to be a Serial 
interface not a HPIB one
    I actually got the cable with my Mutoh Lg Format Plotter but this 
cable does work (I've just sent a illustrator file to it (quick & dirty))

I hope this helps.
