Here is another (possible) way:
Ask your printer what type of plotter he uses (exact name and model).
I would suspect that it uses HPGL which is almost universal for plotters.
Search for and Download the printer driver and install on your system.
Setup the Printer to "Print to File".
Select the Printer as the output device and set Page Dimensions to A0 height in Landscape.
In Page Layout print to 1 page horizontal and vertical.
When printing select the Plotter/Printer and check "Plot to File" using .PLT for the extension.
It may create a very large plot file - copy onto a memory stick.
No guarantees - but check with your printer when you ask for the Printer model.

GenoPro can also be installed on the machine that is connected to the plotter.GenoPro is light and can run in very restrictive environment, even the Windows XP guest account can run GenoPro.exe
