HP1050c won't recieve plots from 2005

[jwollenberg]

We have a 1050c that has worked excellent until we upgraded to LDDT 2005. Now it won't receive plots from ACAD even though ACAD says it plotted with no errors. I have searched for a new driver can't find one. We are using HP's driver v4.66 still doesn't work. It plots fine from other applications. I recreated the pc3 file from the system printer in 2005 and still nothing. Got desperate used a hp750cm heidi driver, it receives now but won't recognize the wipeouts we use on some symbols because the heidi driver doesn't do rasters well.

Anyone have any thoughts that might help?

Are you plotting from modelspace?

I doesn't receive at all regardless of model space or paper space. I have tried from both. The IP address for this printer is working because I can send from other programs. The strange thing is that I can make a plot file using the 755 heidi driver and dump it to the 1050 using the command prompt and it will print fine. I then make a plot file using the system driver and dump it the same way and it's like I never sent it. There almost has to be something with driver. At least I would think so.

Perhaps your old PC3 file is corrupt?

Can you view the plot file that you create with the system driver (for
instance with Viewcompanion)? Is it your standard way of working to plot
to file and "dump" the file to the plotter? If so, what command(s) do
you use; and what happens when you plot directly?

You need to get SP1 for LDT2005 to fix the modelspace plotting problem -
perhaps this will also resolve you other problems

Thanks for the help. Please excuse my ignorance but can you tell me what SP1 is and where to get it and how to use it?
