Hi,
    The response that I have received were tremendous. I have summarized
the responses below. I have not tried any of these my self yet. Hope
this helps others who are seeking the same info.

Thanks to the following people for all their generous help:

fraser@adseng.analog.com (Sandy Fraser)
spomush@amgen.com (Steve Pomush)
mblisd!isdserv1!drubie@Aus.Sun.COM (David "dOOf" Rubie)
landers@wilma.dseg.ti.com (David Landers)
lemke@MITL.Research.Panasonic.COM (Kennedy Lemke)
mikeg@Pima.GOV (Mike Gruen)
anderson@neon.mitre.org (Mark S. Anderson)
aidan@cse.unsw.edu.au (Aidan Williams)
rscott@otter.wsipc.wednet.edu (Rob Scott)

SUMMARY:
    1. two people sent me the PRINTCAPCITY file which contains a lot of
entries for known printers.
    2. three people sent me their own printcap entries as well as their
own filter or driver for the plotter.
    3. one person uses a Milan Fastport on the Plotter (ethernet ->
Parallel/serial), which is a node on the network.

The following is the most common printcap entry that I can find in those
responses:

# hp7550a plotter over a tty line.
hpa|HPA|HP7550A|A-size HP plotter:\
  :lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/hpa:br#9600:\
  :ms=-parenb,-tabs,cstopb,cs8,ixon,ixoff:\
  :sh:\
  :lf=/usr/spool/hpa/hpa-log:

For those of you who need the PRINTCAP-CITY file, please send me a note
and I'll forward you the file. I am trying to save bandwidth.

Thanks again for those people who were willing to help.
