It's available in the Linux version of Inkscape too. There are quite a few questions and at least one blueprint on <a href="http://launchpad.net/inkscape">launchpad.net/inkscape</a> if you're interested and need to find out more.

Didn't fully test this, but it looks like .47 of Inkscape will support this output. Windows Build Version 21627 (June 2009) of version .47 Inkscape does have an HPGL export option.

That way you could use only Inkscape and save $150 USD.

I've got some helpful info... I've been trying this myself using an old Datagraph plotter. I have written direction on using any old computer with a Knoppix CD to convert an Adobe Illustrator file to HPGL then sending it to the serial port plotter. I'll post it if you want. Right now I'm trying to upgrade to doing this with a Cricut. Are you still working on this? I’ve got some helpful info… I’ve been trying this myself using an old Datagraph plotter.

I'm currently testing the 0.46+svn self-compiled as "Inkscape 0.46+devel r20652, built Feb 8 2009" and there's no sign of an HPGL export. (Nor it appears has it made it to sk1's UniConverter Unless you know better Alexandre? 0.47 isn’t released yet so those are proposed features.
