barryg Posted January 27, 2000 Share Posted January 27, 2000 I was wondering if someone can help or at least point me in the right direction. My friend is using minicad 7.0 on a MACG3 he is using a HP Plotter (450) and everything is working fine. what he wants to do now is put the plotter up on his network. Some one has suggested that he gets a HP Jet direct card for the plotter to allow him to get an ethernet option for the machine. My Question now is can anyone suggest a plotter software solution to allow his mac and mine both plot to the plotter. I have heard of a package called power plot. Will this do? or can anyone give me a few pointers. we both have G3's and just got a ethernet hub to connect to each other, all we need now is the plotter. ? can any one help. ? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 27, 2000 Share Posted January 27, 2000 PowerPlot has stopped producing drivers for there software so it would not work. There is another company that will do what you want, there name is MicroSpot and there product is called MacPlot you can contact them by calling 408-253-2000 or go to www.microspot.com.

amfethes Posted January 27, 2000 Share Posted January 27, 2000 I just purchased a Jet Direct external for my HP350C. I have the 500x - 3 port, so I can include my desktop printer and a future printer or all-in-one type faxc/copier. It was very easy to install and works like a charm. I also use powerplot, but it has been discontinued. Luckily they updated the driver for the HP350 about a year ago, so I am safe until a new plotter comes along =-). Microspot is the only other company I know of for Mac plotting. HTH. Quote Link to comment
