All I got is workarounds.
Caveman:
You can go through the menus at the printer and set it to use only the drawer the desired size is in. Like a manual override. Send your drawing, and then change the printer back to defaults afterwards. Most printers now have a nice interface that you can log into with a browser.
Cheapness:
I also used a plot2tiff queue, then printed with and image viewer. is the one of the best free things on the internet (needs Windows).
Got a budget?:
What worked easiest was a hpgl2pdf converter. Most pltcfg files dump a catout.gl2 in your home when you plot. You can use something like to view, print, and convert (needs Windows).
get.IT:
If you are a tube jockey that can configure printers on UNIX, then you need to raise your rate. It is two jobs in one.
