I would like to say that sending screenshot or image is only suitable for printers (raster graphic). If you want to draw on the plotter, you'll need use the special instruction for the particular model of plotter you intended to draw on. Plotters are restricted to draw only line art as oppose to raster graphics. Take a look at this wikipedia article

I would do it by creating a BMP file from the front buffer and then printing that BMP:

I would just take a screenshot of the entire 3d scene, and then print it out.
