Hi SLEers
I wrote e-mail to the mailing list about searching solution for installation and using large format plotters and scanners during Linux, but nobody answered. I don't know why.

Well, as said before, it's both a rare issue. I played a bit with an old ENCAD Novajet III printer / plotter at work. I "convinced" it to print in b/w mode only. I "lied" about printer type: I call it a laserjet size A0. I use it to occasionally print maps of 40 cm by 40 am (DKG5000). The printjob will always "stuck" with 3 quarters of the file printed, I use a dummy job (a dot on an envelope siize page) to "eject" the original job which gets printed to it's finish through this. As you see, it's tricky and not a thing to advice as "working". The printer uses HPGL2 commandset. I havn't seen HPGL2 in the ghostscript list odf supported printers (yet). If your printer happens to be a HP Designjet, you should think of adding Postscript capability to it, this will solve all problems.
