Hi

we got a new laser cutter at work, Kendall College and we need to use Corel Draw to feed the printer.
Illstrator for some reason doenst work.

The laser cutter needs HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphic Language) as a tool path.


there is a distiller for *nix but I am on os x and windows.


does anybody know how to program this for the printer?

Please post back any experiences you have with it.

I wrote an extention for an roland hpgl engraver/vinyl cutter that will work fine for your unit with a couple tweeks. You can print directly from coreldraw (wine) or inkscape also.
