Although you can drive this printer directly from gnuplot using
"set term hpgl" or "set term pcl5" (not sure which is correct for that
specific printer model), these driver modes do not support image plots.
I would recommend instead plotting to a PostScript (set term post) 
or PDF file (set term pdf), and then using a separate viewing program
to open that file and print it to your printer.
