pen plotter driver for protel 99SE

Jan 04, 2007 4 Replies

Hi, I want to plot layout from Protel 99 SE directly on film, with my HP7475A. Windows drivers arre not good because they are clogging pen very quickly (their output is quite chaotic with many penups and downs which produces un-acceptable results). Could anyone tell me where to find such pen plotter driver for w2000?.. Thanks in advance, Bojan

You might be better off in searching for software that can drive a plotter from the gerber files.

It's not so much getting a driver for Protel, specifically, as it is getting Windows drivers for pen plotters.

Suggest trying this:

For about USD $200, you get a very comprehensive set of Windows plotter drivers that will definitely handle your 7475A (and most other plotters made), and that will install very nicely on Win2000.

Happy hunting.
