I am having a problem using the Publish feature in AutoCAD 2006. I have a network printer with it's on-board print server. It's an HP Laserjet 8000. I created a .pc3 file using the Windows printer driver that is installed on the computer (Windows XP).

I can plot a single sheet just fine, and when I add multiple sheets to the Publish list, it will only print the first file on the list. If I use the Publish feature on another computer with a AutoCAD 2006 or 2007 installed, it will plot all of these same drawings just fine.

I tried setting the plotter in the page setup to both the windows printer driver, and the .pc3 file that I created with the windows printer driver.
I found that there is a bug with 2008 and 2009 where PUBLISHCOLLATE being set to 0 solves the problem. However, there doesn't seem to be such a variable in 2006, and the "Collate" option is set to "None" in the plotter configuration.

It has been a while since the oryginal post but I was having the same problem and had no luck finding solution online.

It must be a bug because it was randomly selecting which sets to print entirely and which not.

Workaround that has worked for me just now: create a unique page setup that exists in the current sheet only. Use this setup to pring all of the sheet in the set.

Let's hope that's the solution and not just another random event.

Publish feature only plots first drawing in list AutoCAD '06
