Running Land Desktop 2005 and printing to a HP 1055CM plotter.

I've got a drawing that has OLE objects (a few Word documents and Excel
spreadsheets) in my layout tab. I'm getting mixed and undesirable results
with my plot - some of the OLE objects are printing fine, some aren't
printing at all, and one is printing as if it had a wipeout over part of it.
Has anyone ever experienced this, and what did you do to fix it? All my
drivers are up-to-date. I'm on a Windows 2000 computer. Any suggestions?

What are your plot settings for the OLE objects set to? Right-click over
each and find out, perhaps they are looking for application versions that
you do not have.

Thanks Dean - that's the first thing I checked. The spreadsheets are
calling to Excel and the documents are calling to Word. They're all
linked, and set to high graphics plot quality.

Have you considered not having the apps print them, but AutoCAD? Set to
lineart for the Excel sheets and test.
