The problem is that Windows, Plotters and Applications usually don't give good drivers, up-to-date or they don't give at all for old plotters.

 

Common problems with Windows plotter drivers include:

• Unrecoverable Application Errors
• General Protection Faults
• Out of bounds pen movements
• Incorrect line style
• Poor performance for wide lines
• Errors rendering arcs
• Spurious lines
• Incomplete plot
• Low resolution affecting curve smoothness
• Polygon fills do not take account of pen widths
• Incorrect text sizing, positioning and/or rotation
• Drawing does not fit on the sheet
• Output data size up to ~10x larger than drawing size
• Slow plot generation
• Incomplete paper size support
• Poor performance for wide lines
• Jagged rendering of diagonal lines
• Incorrectly joined polylines
• Errors rendering arcs
• Lack of support for HPGL and DMPL languages
• Driver does not exist for the plotter model
