.plt viewer/printing

A client of ours has recently switched to providing all of its drawings in a hpgl type format ( .plt ) instead of the usual .dxf or .dwg that they had been sending. They refuse to send any other format. I have googled a couple free viewers that seem to work, however, the print is large enough that I need to be able to print it out, and none of the freeware that I've found support printing.

Is anyone aware of a freeware for this extension that will allow printing? I don't want to pay the $300 necessary to license any of the ones that I've found just so that I can print.
