and you're running it with a parallel cable?? sorry if that sounds too simple, but i don't know what you don't know i've only run mine with a serial cable (COM) and i know how hard it is to find computers with the proper ports these days - i have mine stick built for that reason. nothing off the shelf will work for me
if you are running it on a parallel cable, is it an old cable? if so, that might be the problem. if you have an older printer or something around that still runs on a parallel, you might wanna hook it up and see if it communicates - if not, you know it's the cable and it's an easy fix!

hmmm......drivers maybe?? is this a new computer with a new OS? try the graphtec site and d/l new drivers. sorry, i'm reaching here if the plotter worked with flexi before it stands to reason that it has to be a communication problem with the new computer.

I had problems running the Graphtec as I had no com port either, I had to get a serial to usb convertor, use the serial cable that you got with your Graphtec machine plug it into the convertor, install the driver that comes with the convertor, set up the port on your computer and away you go, dont ask me where I got the convertor cause I cant remember!, hope this helps.
Cheers
