Ok, for a project in CAD i had to redraw the blueprints of the school's broiler room control panel form a set of badly damaged and aging plans. Now, it would be really, really nice if i could print the plans out to full size. But the school's only plotter is a HP Draftpro DXL.... from when windows 3.1 was 1337.

I have exhaused my resources so far... HP's websites have NO information. I have everything but what is listed below. I plan on printing the blueprints from AutoCAD 2002

Now.. Here is what i need..
A manual. -- A must.. please please please
Drivers for Win. 98 or XP, preferably both.
Any tips on how to get this POS working.

If you have a major copy center around, they might be able to print an AutoCAD file on a larger printer. Or, you could do what I've done: print your image on a high quality standard printer (including a scale block) at a smaller scale, and then blow it up to scale at a copy shop. I generally went for 1/4 scale and then blew it up 400%. I used an inkjet printer for the original and the quality was adequate. They were architectural plans and drawings, which were approved.

hah.. a copy shop around here...... THose links appear very usefull, and the first one has given me an idea. Thanks
