A company called MicroSpot (I think) makes a chooser-level plotter driver
called MacPlot.  They usually advertise in the classified section of
MacWorld/User.  It will emulate not just HP plotters, but a number of others
as well.  It comes with a program called "Configure MacPlot" that allows
you to set the plotter type and other stuff.  It would probably have been
nicer to do that from within the printing dialog box, but I think they did
it this way because of memory usage.  Oh yes, if you want to see it in action,
it also comes bundled with Claris CAD, so find some lab which uses it.  The
little I've seen works fine.
