>These "names" aren't going to prove as helpful as the model numbers.
Hmmm... I can't see why.
If you want a DraftMaster I, you want a DraftMaster I. I think most people
would know it as that than its model number.
But, here they are for anyone that knows them.
DraftMaster I = 7595A
DraftPro DXL = 7575A

>I
>have a 7585B which is, I believe, the precursor of the Draftmaster series,
Yes, it probably is, noting the numbers.

>the principal difference being the presence of a drive for the chart feed
>and some different body panels. It's not at all certain that the behavior
>you've described characterizes any malfunction at all.
Well, they both are malfunctions.

>The fact that HP
>people suggest it's broken doesn't mean much either, by the way.

Oh, I know that. But, I'm not gonna pay them if they could/wanted to fix
it. It is not worth it. That's why I was hoping somebody who has the knack
would save them.

>HP has a
>habit of disposing of people once they've learned enough about anything to
>be really useful, and their salesmen never get to that point.
Too true.

>I do have the manuals for the 758x series, by the way.
I should have the manuals for both, but I've only definitely found one of them.
I actually found the info for printing the test page on their web site.

So, if anybody wants them...

Nasos.
