I have just recently started experiencing printing problems to my HP Designjet T1100 with 2007 LT. This issue started about a 2 weeks ago. When trying to print out a large scale drawing it terminates about 1/4 of the way through the print. There are no errors on the printer or in the print manager.
To date I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2007 LT; updated the printer firmware; updated the printer software driver.
I have an HP DesignJet T1200. We are using AutoCad Civil 3D to plot large files that were exported from PLS CAD. These files contain multiple ECW's that average 5-10 megs each. Is there a customization we need to set to get the plotting time down.
Currently it takes 8-10 min for AutoCad to process the plot and once it is sent it takes another 8-10 min for the plotter to start plotting.This is telling me that there is something wrong with our setup. (see below)
workstations = DELL T3500 with Windows XP Pro; Intell Xeon 320GHz; Nvidia Quadro 4000/2g onboard RAM; 4g system RAM
Plotter = HP DesignJet T2100 on network
We usually have projects that contain 150-200 drawings that we need to work on and plot per project. This plotting time is killing our productivity!
I am trying to plot a layout sheet 24'' W x 18" H. The frame on my sheet is 22''W x 16''L (inside the dash lines limits we see on the layout). I believe I prepare the print correctly:
- Select the printer (HP DESIGN JET PS)
- I use the window fonction to select the printable area ( left upper corner and then the opposite corner).
- Select Paper size Arch C (landscape)
- Paper orientation: Lansdcape
The preview shows that the upper and bottom lines of my frame will not print, and they do not, even if I try (see the attachement below).
Is this a driver problem?
Client machines are windows7 64bit sp1.Having issues with one plotter at this point-- HP DesignJet T1200 HD MFP.
.This plotter worked fine with AutoCAD 2013 Autodesk software uses windows printer objects for printing not pc3s.
Plotter driver is the newest hpgl2 off hp's website for that plotter.
So far crashes when attempting to plot from autocad and revit. Gets the attached message.
I just received 2013 lt and want to know the best solution for setting up a HP Designjet 750c Plus to begin plotting. Apparently there is no support from HP for Windows 7 drivers. I'm no expert but what I've read it seems that I can use the HDI driver. Go slow since this i new to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with print from Autodesk Mechanical on a HP Designjet 500 24.
The system is a Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
When I select the printer, the printer returns to "none".
I have tried several drivers, the HP Designjet 500 plus 24 or HP DesignJet 500 24+HPGL2 card.
I can select the HP DesignJet 500 24+HPGL2 card, but since that driver is incorrect for my printer, it doesn't print.
I have found this same problem for a HP Designjet T610.
Here is says to use a driver version from 10 feb 2010 or later. But there isn't any driver around or after this date for the HP Designjet 500.
Other program's can print just fine through the original HP Designjet 500 24 driver.
Although automatic rotating is on, the HP plotter DesignJet 500 plus uses the paper wasting method.
In the layout preview of Civil 3D 2012 the result looks good, but I need one meter of the paper roll for this plot.
Printing pdf's to an HP Designjet 1055 using the new Acrobat X version. I can't change the page size from 8.5x11and nothing comes out at the 1055. Works fine to our Xerox 6204 printers. Looks like I could be going back to Acrobat 9.4...
View 3 Replies View Relatedthe top image is printed from Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 57" wide and 137" tall to an HP DesignJet Z6200PS 60" color inkjet plotter. The print preview shows that the image looks good and should come out correctly (as the lower image did when printed to a DesignJet Z6200PS as a .PDF file from Adobe Acrobat Reader).
Why is the image printing correctly as a .PDF from Acrobat Reader but not as a JPEG from Photoshop CS 5.1 (same source image)?
I'm attempting to plot a drawing with a 3d shape and a title block around it. I would like for the occluded lines to not be drawn therefore I'm using the hidden visual style and set shade plot to hidden as well.
My problem arises from the quality of the plot to PDF versus the quality coming out of a printer. It is just a 8.5x11 page. The pdf comes out with horrible anti-aliasing and jagged lines, whereas the print is entirely smooth. Is there something simple I'm missing? It would be even better to find a way to make the plot to PDF come out in vector format! I know it is possible to show the layers and have them vectorized in a PDF... How is this done?
I just bought a HP Designjet Z3100. And I can’t get the colors right. Everything looks great on the screen but then I print I get this ugly strong light green color. I have really tried different settings without success I have also tried X4 and X5 with the same result.
Everything is ok if I export the file to PDF and then print, but then I print from the cdr file its get very ugly.
I have the same problem with other printers but then I change the printer’s own settings to Saturation in the color settings.
I have uploaded some files to: [URL] ...
CDR file = This is one example of the files I can’t print.
PDF output = The same file as the CDR that looks good then I print it.
ugly green = This is how the print looks like (I get these colors then I use my Nitro PDF printer)
I am having trouble printing to an HP Designjet T770 from AutoCad LT 2012, on a Windows 7 computer.
I am using the HPGL/2 driver. I can print a test page, and I can print from other programs.
When I try to print, it looks like it is sending it normally, but the printer just ignores it.
I am able to print to this printer from AutoCad 2010 on a Vista computer.
I have a template with layouts of different sizes that had been working fine with a previous Xerox 6204. My D size and E size automatically oriented with the 36" side parallel to the roll feed. I have since moved to a job that got a Designjet T2300. On this machine the D size orients the 24" side parallel. This wastes 1' of paper on the left and uses 1' extra as it runs the 36" side perpendicular. I have been unable to rectify the problem. I have tried printing in portrait, that actually cut off some of the image. I have tried all types of rotation within the driver and layouts. Tech support had me going into the machine settings and set rotation to 90. Nothing. There is a warning that "HP utilities" is not installed. Could this be a remedy? When the tech came to set up the printer he installed the necessary drivers but mad no mention of this utility.

If I have drawing that was drawn in scale 1:1250 in model space but I want to show this in paper space as scale 1:500 the dwg will obviously be tiny. How do I change the scale in model space so that it can be presented in paper space fitting the page at scale 1:500 on size A1? Is there a calculation I need to change the model space dwg?
I am using Autocad 2007 and when I want to select something by outlining it, the area that I outline turns a green color. Is there a way to toggle this feature off so that it does not change color, as in v 2000? Incidentally, what is this feature called?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI kept getting a fatal error when I tried to open the layers manager and I found a discussion board saying I had to do a system restore to fix the problem. Well I did a system restore and now autocad won't even load. I click on the icon and the hour glass goes but then it disappers and nothing happens. I have windows 7 if that makes a difference. I have been using 2007 lt for a few months now and everything worked fine.

I have AutoCAD LT 2007 and if I save some file in my office server then it freezes for some time (with bigger file it freezes for longer). There are no problems ploting with plotters on server and neither there are no problems with saving files on my computer. Also with my old computer (worse and slower) it saves to server without problem.
I think my AutoCAD LT 2007 have some conflict with my new windows 7 or with some connection settings.
