Ive just acquired an (ancient) Oce 5100 plotter that's in perfect working
order, to help me print off cad plans.
It connects via a rs232 or mini centronics interface. Ive got the rs232
cable for it but not a centronics one.
I need some drivers for it and Im not too sure whether it's all going to
work like a regular printer anyhow. Maybe someone knows about printing via
rs232 and can offer advice on getting it up and running.
The test print-off (when unconnected to a PC) says the following. Im
confused about it and Ive no idea where this information is coming from.
"The information below describes your printer driver and port settings

Im running XP.
Ive done a google search and not come up with anything definate
order, to help me print off cad plans.
