Waiting for an HP plotter to complete its work gets very frustrating, but
the only serial port buffers I've come across handle character output to a
printer.  With Quadram's QSPOOLSR for example, output to the plotter does not
seem to be picked up by the buffer.

Does anybody out there know of a SOFTWARE spooler/buffer to hold output to
a plotter?
Anyone been successful in using Quadram's QSPOOLSR to do this?

I`m using an IBM PC hooked up to a Hewlett Packard 7475A Plotter.
Please mail any information and if there's enough interest I'll post
a summary.

Thanks
