Plotting with an HP8500n |
|
|
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).

- As long as your PC3 file is set to output to letter, that's all you get.
Make a PC3 file that specifically grabs only 11x17.
- All your other Windows applications that work print directly to the System
printer without going through your PC3 file that is set to output to letter,
so they don't have the problem.

Have you installed the latest HP drivers on the PC and on the Server?
Then reset the PC3 at the PC, and try again. Also, what version of
ACAD? And have you applied all the SP's to ACAD?
Ciao!
