Are there any drivers that can be obtained to enable us to run an
ancient HP COLORPRO PLOTTER 7440 on either a Windows 2000 or a Windows XP machine? Thanks!

The plotter as you know uses HPGL and not PCL as the language. If I recall
correctly there were some HP printers that also supported HPGL (don't hold me to it). If you find a printer driver that supports HPGL then it might work.

Way to go Cari!
And MS XP even supports Thinkjets (1984 vintage inkjet) and Paintjets (first color inkjet printer). JS "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

Any line NOT perfectly vertical or horizontal is drawn "stair-step" fashion - completely unacceptable. Use WinLine. I haven't needed it in years, but it was the only HPGL solution I found that would run under NT 4.0 that actually USED the plotter functions correctly. "JS" @ wrote in message ...
