Languages Supported by HP Plotters

This article was previously published under Q123609

The Windows NT 3.5 hardware compatibility list (HCL) includes the HP-GL/2 plotter. The driver for these plotters that ships with Windows NT 3.5 should support all HP-GL/2 plotters, but you need to determine if your plotter is an HP-GL/2 plotter. This article provides a list of HP Plotters and their supported languages.

NOTE: HP-GL/2 is a superset of HP-GL. Plotters that support HP-GL, but not HP-GL/2, do not work correctly with the HP-GL/2 plotter driver.

Not all of these devices are supported by Windows NT. This list will help you determine if your plotter supports the HP-GL/2 language.
