When you try to print from a standard LPTx or COMx port setting to a
Hewlett-Packard (HP) plotter with a HP-IB interface , printing fails with
no error message.
CAUSE
Hewlett-Packard (HP) plotters are shipped with one of two interfaces,
either a standard RS-232C or the HP-IB proprietary device interface based
on the IEEE-488 standard.
The HP-IB interface is not supported by Microsoft Windows 3.0.
WORKAROUND
Print to the LPT1.OS2 port.
