You might like to have a look at my "Programmable Plotter"; there are a
few pics on the Mindstorms website at

I don't know how you currently have your marker mounted, but I was
surprised to find how well my pen up/ pen down mechanism worked.
With regards to the line skipping, you may need to think about friction;
I thought my program was buggy until I removed the pen and put it back
on, mounted a bit higher from the paper. It drew perfectly then!
Feel free to contact me if you think I could be of any further
assistance.
