I've posted this before, but here goes again -
What I am currently doing is organizing a cut page with Inkscape, saving that single color file as
/home/bruce/hpgl/newplot.ps
This file you're saving, are you just saving the whole current inkscape file to this .ps file?
If so it probably wouldn't be too hard to make an inkscape python "Effect" which doesn't actually do anything to the inkscape document, but instead saves it (as above) and then runs the steps below.
I could make an example effect it you want.

I then click a script called 'cut newplot.ps' which changes to the correct directory, generates a view using evince ( just to make sure I'm going to cut the right thing ) and then activates another script based on the one found at:
http://pldaniels.com/hpgl-distiller/ ( I changed a few things and am more than happy to share everything with anyone. )
Once I close the preview, the plotter does it's thing.
I would like to create a menu item in Inkscape, but haven't figured that out yet.
Any links on how to make a custom menu item??
