Did you by chance browse through the rest of the Egg-Bot wiki [1] (since the original question was referring to its smiley tutorial)? They describe an alternative method to generate line-based shadings (though not the same technique as used in the art of Duerer et al.):
http://wiki.evilmadscience.com/TSP_art http://wiki.evilmadscience.com/Generating_TSP_art_from_a_stippled_image
It is based on stippling and aims for a single continuous path (TSP) instead of hatching with closely spaced parallel lines, but might still provide some interesting ideas and links... (and includes a set of python scripts to generate SVG output based on a bitmap image with the stippling information).
yes, plotter an image with my pen plotter (Cuttok DCC330), but due to an ink issue, parts were not drawn :(
and to add insult the paper ripped while getting it off the sticky mat :(
waiting for pens for my Roland DXY-1300 to retry the image....
also noticed the hpgl file created from inkscape has unnecessary pen up commands
