David,

If the HPGL output from UG does plot, why not just use that?

My company makes PostScript conversion software, and we have a number of customers who use it for PS files generated from UniGraphics. I can't speak for your plotter, but our software generally handles them without problems. Chances are it's plain Level 1 PostScript by the way, as most technical applications on UNIX output that.

If the problem persists and you need a solution, you could consider trying our ps2vector module (available on HP-UX) to batch convert the UG PS files automatically to HPGL (or to 'our' Level 1 PostScript output) for rendering by your plotter. You're welcome to send me a sample UG PS file for us to have a look at and convert as a test.
