	Can anyone help me print to a networked HP DesignJet 500/HP-GL/2 plotter. The plotter does not do postscript...and has an IP on the network. The HP site states that macs can print to it, but they don't give any info on their site or in the documentation. Since it's nothing but a big inkjet I assume i'm going to need a RIP of some sort, but there are no HP mac drivers. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? Thanks in advance.
