printing to hp500 via plotflow

[Anonymous]

Using Mac OS 8.6 or 9.0 not OSX,

Does anyone know if it is possible to PRINT and plot with an HP designjet 500 using Plotflow or other system.
We are using Archicad 7 and 8

Thanks Ron G

Ron,

That worked for me for years using a HP455 with or without the jetdirect box using OS 8.6 and versions of OS9. The HP 500 is not much different than the 455.

Plotflow was a good piece of printing software for off-hours plotting and I haven't upgraded (yet) to an OSx version (if there is one?).

I'm not sure but....... I thought AC-8 was only OSX native and for a G4 or better machine. No one could give me a straight forward answer to backwards compatibility to pre OSX versions of plot flow (so...I haven't upgraded.....yet......and now we have AC9!).

Still Productive on AC7 (but falling behind on upgrading!),

Mark
