[mdlug] OT: plot to this old plotter on port 515?

[Dean Durant]

Hello, we have this old plotter (synergix copy system 8825)that used to work
and we went through a network cutover and now it doesn't work anymore.
I have found a ppd file that is supposed to work for it and I have
tried from linux, hp-ux, and a legacy OS to install it. I don't know the lpr
queue name and don't know how to get it. I know it's on the network and
can print because there is a web page, and it has a button to upload
files, and it will print jpg files and postscript files that way but
will not print from any OS. Any info would be appreciated.   If I can get it to plot from linux that would be a win for linux, whatever that's worth.   Thanks, Dean
