I've got an old Mutoh IP530 my office is reviving for a special use. I'm trying to plot to it, but it won't quite work yet. I've got the port correctly configured. and a generic plotter profile set up which the plotter is known to be able to read. I'm wondering if anyone remembers the old DOS commands for manually dumping a .plt file into the lpt1 port to transmit the file to the plotter. Anyone out there old enough to remember how to do this?

it's configured in ACAD 2002, and using Windows XP pro, and the generic profile is for an HP7580B......

Time is of the essance!
