In this thread, How to print using HPGL2 plotdriver?, I posted a copy of my KIP6000.pltcfg file which is a modified copy of pdf.pltcfg that copies the output directly to the shared KIP 6000 printer.This allows us to use pdf.pltcfg to create pdf archive files which look exactly the same as prints sent directly to the printer. You can edit any pltcfg file (search help - Printer Driver Configuration dialog) you can define pre and post exicute commands (search help - Define pre-print and post-print program commands). The xml code I shared is part of our kip6000.plt6cfg file which is an example of how to copy the file $(MS_PLTOUT) to the printer \\kipstf\KIP6000. If your Océ TDS 700 can support postscript printing this should work for you also.

I have a new problem. Everything is printing fine with this driver. However, I want to be able to write a driver that pulls the paper from 1 specific roll all the time. Since our OCE printer has 4 rolls I would like to make roll 4 mylar instead of regular paper. I have tried to define roll 4 in the plot driver but it is being ignored. How do I get the driver to pull from roll 4 only. Below is the line that defines the printer parameters.

sysprinter /name="\\engdat1\3rdProduction_TDS700" /form="34in Mylar" /orientation=landscape /offset=(0.0, 0.12) /unit=in /tray="Roll 4"

OS Windows XP

That plot driver works great. I made the necessary adjustment and it removed a few steps from what I was doing. Thanks for the help.

Attached is one we use.
It also points to the installed system printer but gives us a quick / painless wrapper.

Many things are currently hard coded such as our network share, defaults to an Arch D page size, etc.
So you will need to edit accordingly to get it to work in your environment.
But hopefully you can use this as a launching point.
