  Help.

  I was given an HP7470A plotter (it's pretty ancient), and am trying to drive
  it from Win3.1 using the supplied HP drivers (7470A is listed).  The problem
  is that whenever it tries to do anything with curves in it, it hangs the
  plotter, or just makes a mess on the paper.
  It is running off Com2 with '8, none, 1 and off' set up - and I am almost
  certain that these are correct - so I think the problem comes from elsewhere.

  Any ideas???
  (I didn't think this was really a 3.1 problem - hence this NG)
