plot to file crashes HP 1220c |
|
|
I am trying to figure out why my HP 1220c DeskJet crashes (immediately
closes) ADT 3.3 when I "plot to file". Works fine when printing to paper. I
used an older HP1120c for years 'till it became unreliable.
Using USB001 port, I have reset "bidirectional communication with printer"
both ways, downloaded latest drivers from HP. Win2000 sp4, ATI 9600 video
card.
Any advice welcome. . . .

Assign a different port? Make a new PC3 file set to output to file?
Plus why the changes to the entire setup if you are just plotting to file?

Try PAGESETUP command, it is designed to do just that.
Also explore using the -PLOT command, answer no at the last question: kind
of like a command line version of PAGESETUP.
Return to the LPT port, recreate any PC3 files, bet problem goes away.

Thanks Dean,
I "plot to file" so that ADT 3.3 will save my plot settings without
actually plotting to paper. This is very handy, so when I get drawings all
finished up, I know the plots are already set up.
Also, I can use govert's goplot to run batches unattended.
the plotter can use either LPT or USB, perhaps changing to LPT will keep it
from crashing. Hoping someone will chime in with similar prob, and fix. |

Ends up the printer crashes ANY programs that I print to file.
Must be a conflict with the port or other printer. |
