After contacting you plotting service to determine there plotting device, 
install a printer to match there plotter, and set it to "File" instead of 
LPT1.
Lay you sheet out for the full size end plot, and use the F3 key to plot to 
file when ready to send to them.
When I email mine, I usually zip 2 or 3 files into one file to transmit.  I 
do this since: 1) AOL has a max. file limit it allows to send; and 2) 
Murphy's law, if a problem arises, your transmitting will abort after 99% of 
that MB file has been sent, thereby losing all of that loooong send time.
To plot to your LaserJet, set that up as your Check Plot in the lower portion 
of the Plotter Setup Dialog Box.
