Hi,
The response that I have received were tremendous. I have summarized
the responses below. I have not tried any of these my self yet. Hope
this helps others who are seeking the same info.
Thanks to the following people for all their generous help:

rscott@otter.wsipc.wednet.edu (Rob Scott)
SUMMARY:
1. two people sent me the PRINTCAPCITY file which contains a lot of
entries for known printers.
2. three people sent me their own printcap entries as well as their
own filter or driver for the plotter.
3. one person uses a Milan Fastport on the Plotter (ethernet ->
Parallel/serial), which is a node on the network.
The following is the most common printcap entry that I can find in those
responses:
# hp7550a plotter over a tty line.
hpa|HPA|HP7550A|A-size HP plotter:\
:lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/hpa:br#9600:\
:ms=-parenb,-tabs,cstopb,cs8,ixon,ixoff:\
:sh:\
:lf=/usr/spool/hpa/hpa-log:
For those of you who need the PRINTCAP-CITY file, please send me a note
and I'll forward you the file. I am trying to save bandwidth.
Thanks again for those people who were willing to help.
