Depending on your setup you might need to compile a new kernel, or not.
If GENERIC has (at boot)
ppi0 at hbipbus0 slave 5 punit 0
Then attach the Paintjet to the HP-IB bus and select 5 as the slave number.

I tried the ppi-driver with a 7450 (? A3-plotter anyway) and it started
drawing some lines but after a few seconds it hung and the HP-IB bus was
locked solid with DMA timeouts. This was using the slow HP-IB, never tried
the fast one.
