It doesn't even need a driver... it uses a standard LPT protocol from the 80's for plotters.

What it needs is software that can output that protocol. I've got software for it, but for some reason my attempt to burn the CD image results in a useless CD, so either my legit copy of Nero thinks it's hacked, or the person that created the .NRG of the CD did it with a hacked copy of Nero.

The real problem is finding someone that still has blades in stock for an old cutter. But I'm not wasting my time ordering blades until I've got the software running dry-run plots just to see if it works at all, since the cutter's been sitting for years.
