My friend has a Houston Instrument Plotter Model DMP-50 and can not
get it running to print his school work (AutoCAD DWGs)
Need driver? What he should look for?
If your AutoCAD is anything like recent, you're running it under
Windows.
Au contraire, or however you spell it! I am running 2005 under wine.
You spelled it right. Beg pardon, I should have said that AutoCAD
*thinks* it's running under Windows. I'm sure one could get it working
under qemu or VMware as well. Point being that when you buy it you get a
binary whose name ends in ".exe".
One of the big appeals of AutoCAD (for me) used to be that it was
available *natively* for many different platforms, including MacOS, at
least one flavor of UNIX, and I think VMS, as well as Win/DOS. Those
days are long gone.
Any help for the OP, or are we just chatting?
Autodesk haven't supported any other platform since Release 13,
which was about 10 years ago.
I set up something like this years ago, using an HI DMP-61 with FreeBSD
3.2 or 3.3. What I did was to install Samba on the FreeBSD machine, and
set it up to 'share' the plotter (connected on an RS232 port) as a
printer. Then the Windows clients were able to see the plotter as a
networked printer, and use the native AutoCAD driver for that plotter.
The FreeBSD machine was pretty much acting as a print server for that
plotter.
Sorry to be so vague, but it was a long time ago. Hope this gets you
pointed in the right direction.
