Dumb question but did you install the drivers for the plotter?
Or check the plotter to see if it's ready to plot.

also flexipro has a bunch of plotters programed into but it doesnt have mine the closest things are a seiki 1100H and a seiki 1100sd

im pretty sure the drivers are installed although im not positive and the plotter has vinyl in it and i ran a test thing and it came out fine

I hate to say it pretty sure doesn't help. Make sure they are installed.
Is it usb or serial?

its uses a RS-232 to USB converter

How can i get MY plotter to show up though? is there something i need to download?

It sounds like your plotter is not supported. You may want to try a generic hpgl driver, or you will have to contact your plotter manufacturer & scanvec to see if they may have drivers available. Have you updated to the latest release through scanvecs website?

I dont see an option for a generic HPGL driver... are you saying to pick any one thats HPGL? or is there supposed to be a "generic" option in the list...
