The built-in JetDirect card in the plotter also has a RJ45 10/100 socket & a BNC port. The only connection points on the HP JetDirect 300X box is a large cable that goes to the RS232 type port on the plotter & then a RJ45 Ethernet 10/100 cable socket. Obviously I'm totally lost so any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to connect to this thing directly or do I have to setup some kind of network? I know the plotter works because I saw it printing where I acquired it & it will print built-in test plots & system reports like a champ. I went thru the same process when we got the 500C at work & it just showed up in a list, I selected & it plotted so I know I've got to have something hooked up wrong. I use a DesignJet 500C at work without any problems but it does not have the "Gutenprint" stuff in it's driver name it just shows up as a DesignJet 500C. When I use the fax/printer setup, I can not see it & the only driver that shows up in the list is a "HP DesignJet 750C Plus Gutenprint v5.1.3". I've tried connecting thru both JetDirect devices. I downloaded the 750C Plus driver from HP but no matter what I do I can not establish a connection or get it to plot. The secondary box was how the guy I got it from had it connected, but to a PC. The plotter has a built in JetDirect card & it also came with an external Jet Direct box that connects thru a large cable (looks like a RS232). I just acquired this plotter for home use & I'm trying to plot directly to it from VW2008 with a G4 Powerbook 17" running OSX 10.5.2.
