Answer
Hi --Not my exact field. but I know this, or can lead you to help.
1-- I have never ever heard an "if I upgrade AutoCAD, can I still use my plotter?" question before. I think the last plotting changes were for 2005 or 2006, and were minor. So, by me, you are cool.
2-  If you want to find someone using your plotter with Acad 2008 or Inventor, go to the AutoCAD printing/plotting discussion group. search for posts on your plotter, or post the question.

3 -- Not being completely familiar with your plotter model. I would neverthe less be totally shocked if HP did not offer any needed software updates.
4- Where I WOULD be a tiny bit concerned is whether some of the features of the software work 100% on Vista, but I think Autodesk and Bill G spent a lot of time on this, so, again. I would say "No issue at all, a little surprised to read the question"
Good Luck -- write back if I am off or you have more.
