When we attempt to plot to an HP 8500n printer, it will only print an 8.5X11 image, even if you select 11X17 paper. All other Window software packages print correctly. The operating system is Win2000 with all appropriate SP's loaded.
I tried to create a plotter configuration, the results were the same. Additionally, we tried to use the default "system" plotter and received the same results.
Is there an "AutoCAD" driver for this type of printer? This may be the root of the problem.
As an added note, when I "calibrated" the plotter, the size reverted to the appropriate scale (for the rectangle sized to 10X16).

If you are plotting only to the WINDOWS or SYSTEM printer like all the other
applications, I bet the problem is not there.

I suspect you plot to a PC3 file instead, one that is set to only print
letter no matter what. So make a PC3 file that only plots 11x17 as well, and
have both.
