help connecting a plotter to HP-UX

While this is technically a newbie question, it is an advanced/expert situation so that's why I posted it here.

I'm an intern at a company that recently aquired another business that ran off the HP-UX 10.20 unix platform. They (and myself) do not have any experience with it. I have spent virtually my entire day scouring the internet and trying various commands in order to fix this problem, but I have had no luck.

The system came with an hp 7595a plotter which we need to connect to print drawings stored on the system.

I have gone to the printer jobs menu in unix and it shows a printer called paintjet. The current configuration is with a cable running from the plottter to a serial port on the c160 and then another cable from the plotter connected to an Emulex Performance 2500 which is connected at the c160's ethernet port.

This does not seem to tbe printer though. The program I am trying to plot with is Unigraphics V.15, but I have even tried printing with the text editor and it does not help.

Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Thanks!

NAME
nameclt - Naming Service client SYNOPSIS
nameclt [-ior <object-reference>] [-advanced] <operation> DESCRIPTION
The nameclt command invokes operations on the Naming Service. The allowed operations are: list <context-name> lists contexts and objects bound in the context with the specified name. bind_new_context <context-name> binds name to a new context, and returns the stringified context IOR. remove_context <context-name> unbinds and destroys the named context, as long as it is empty. bind <object-name> <stringified-IOR> binds name to object. unbind <object-name> unbinds name and object. resolve <object-name> returns stringified IOR bound to specified name. OPTIONS
-ior NameService-object-reference Use the given stringified IOR as the "root" context of the naming service. By default, nameclt uses the object reference returned by calling CORBA::ORB::resolve_initial_references("NameService"). -advanced Allow advanced operations. These are operations which should not normally need to be used. They may however be useful for testing the naming service and also for cleaning up in the event of a client messing up the namespace. The operations are: bind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR> binds name to context. rebind <object-name> <stringified-IOR> binds name to object even if binding already exists. rebind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR> binds name to context even if binding already exists. new_context returns stringified IOR for a new context. destroy destroys the naming context given with -ior flag.
