You might try MacPlot by MicroSpot.  It comes with a plotter driver
that you duplicate and configure to fit a variety of plotters.  We
are currently using it to print from a Mac to a Houston Instruments
GDP-19 (speaking DMPL).  You can customize the fill patterns, line
types and pens.  It will print from (as much as we have tested)
programs such as MacDraw, MacPaint, FullPaint, and CricketDraw.  It
seems to work with any application that will print to an imagewriter
(not bad huh).

The driver is selected through the chooser and brings up its own menu
when asked to print.  You can print to the device or to a file for 
later plotting using either the MacPlot program or a DA that comes
with it.  I picked up the Professional version (they also have a 
standard version) from Egghead Software's Clearance center in
Santa Monica, CA for only 19.99 (I think it retails for about $200).
