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.
