Get the latest version of xfig and transfig (2.1.6) available now from a X 
contrib sources archive near you. :)  You can export decent IBMGL (HPGL) and 
WP 5.1 can load this format.

It's not nearly as nice as EPS, but if you only have a regular HP
laserjet type printer, it's a necessity evil and the next best thing.
