James,
As I recall, you used to have an Oce printer. Why the switch to KIP? Also,
how to the two compare two months in?

1. All users plot directly to the Kip
2. The Kip is installed as a shared printer on a print server, then all

3. Something entirely different.
I look forward to hearing from you. If you have software or other items I
should grab now, please let me know! Thanks.

Hello Jim- I don't know if they are comparable, but we plot to a Kip 2000.
We have it set up with a print server as a share on the network and that
seems to work well for us. We have about 25 users, and are on a Novell
network. We run Land Development 2005 and our workstations are mapped to PC3
and CTB files on a secure network location.
Hope that helps.

Our office was already set up with an HP 1055CM. We plot to a file, then
use a batch file to copy the prints to the printer (for example: "copy /b
<filename> \\server\HP1055"). We bought a KIP 6000 to get faster plots. It
gives us 8 D-size sheets per minute instead of 1 sheet every 2 minutes,
using the exact same plt file.
It was helpful that the KIP can use the HPGL/2 plot files because we wanted
to take advantage of the "Lines Merge" option that HP printers have, so that
hatch doesn't cover up linework. I just created a different batch file to
copy the prints to the KIP (for example: "copy /b *.plt \\KIP6000\Print),
but we still use the HP print drivers to create the plot files. I didn't
even try the KIP drivers, since we didn't need them.
That of course isn't the manufacturer's recommended way of doing it, but it
works great for us.
Warning: It took about a month for the KIP technicians to get the plotter
calibrated correctly so that the paper was cut to the correct size, and the
KIP6000 had a loose grounding plate that had to be repaired to keep it from
jamming on every third plot... but now that the repairs have been made, our
office couldn't do without it.
