AutoCAD 12 for PostScript
AutoCAD is an engineering design package. This section covers how
to configure AutoCAD to print to your Accel-a-Writer 812 printer
and once that is done, how to print from AutoCAD.
Note: If your version of AutoCAD does not support PostScript,
you may select the HP-GL 7475A printer description file.
You will have access to all supported resolutions with the
HP-GL emulation.
