PDF format. To print them out full size I have to save the document to my hard drive, then open them as external content onto a blank D size layout, and then plot that. When it is just one or two drawings, this is O.K., But most are considerably larger than that and the process can be quite time consuming. Does anyone out there know if the H.P. Plotter can be used as a printer, and if so how. I have tried to use page setup / print, but to no avail. thank you.

I use Acrobat Reader to print any size PDFs from my dual G5 Mac to either an HP Laserjet for small stuff or a Designjet 800ps for large format. Open and print. Nothing to it.
There used to be a driver to print directly from the Mac to the 650C; maybe it's no longer supported? If not you might try Gimp-print. I don't know much about it because I never needed to use it, but I've heard it offers support for older printers.

Thank you. I tried a driver download from H.P., and the 650C is no longer supported. When I get a break in the action, I will have to search the office and see if there might be a disk. The plotter was here long before I was. What is Gimp Print?
