Yikes!  I'm very sorry about that.  I've downloaded drivers from there in the past with no problem.  Perhaps the site was hacked.

I've used USB to parallel "pigtail" between my computer and a HP Designjet 500 with mixed results.  Sometimes AutoCAD would lose the plotter and I'd have to reload the driver.

Another option I've tried is installing a PCI add-on parallel port card.

holy moly that last link gave my computer the worst virus!

anyhow i managed to find the driver through my plotter manager option in autocad 2000 but i still cant print.

The paper wont load smoothly either...

maybe i dont have the right cable too

Im using a usb to parallel cable...this is getting very complicated

I wonder if you have to register first to download?

Have you checked this out?

Link removed as the website was infected.  My apologies.

HP Draftmaster I?  I doubt you could find a free driver that would work with WinXP.  You might be able to use a generic driver.  I believe HP does have one if I am not mistaken.  Check their website.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 18:26:38 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5820&PID=15092&title=hp-plotter-driver#15092 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5820&PID=15084&title=hp-plotter-driver#15084 Author: starc98

Hi there,

I know this is lame but i have an ancient HP draftmaster I plotter and i need drivers for xp.  I use Autocad 2000 but can also use R14 if necessary for printing purposes.  I tried Winline but it was just a trial driver and it costs a bloody $200 which i dont have

please help
