Can some of you try this and let me know what you see on other printers.
The setup.
PC 6.0.9, OS X.3.3, HP 11x17 lasers, HP 1055CM plotter, Epson 2200 printer. HP laserjets are Postscript. HP 1055CM is postscript and that's the driver used. The Epson 2200 is a ink jet that can handle up to 13" paper. All are networked using AppleTalk.
Drawings are done assuming a 22x34 page size. This prints fine on the 1055CM. This size is chosen as the "standard" for this project is 11x17. These are printed at 50%. This works fine on the HP laserjets and the 1055CM. But on the Epson we get some strange results.
The drawing had 4 "pages" laid out vertically. So printing page 1 to 1 would get you the top sheet, 4 to 4 the bottom, etc...
When printed on the Epson page 1 to 1 works fine. Page 2 to 2 gives the bottom half of what should be the 1st page and the top half of what should be the 2nd page. Printing from page 3 to 3 gives what you would expect to get when printing page 2.
Does anyone else have a non-postscript HP or Cannon 11x17 printer where you can test to see if this is an issue?
Thanks

David, We have an HP4MV 11 x 17 laser printer and an HP1220C 13 x 19 inkjet printer in our studio. Our standard drawing stationary is 24" x 36" sheets with everything set to print @ half size on the 11 x 17 printers.
We send plot out to a service when needed.
The page setup issues you are describing we have not encountered.

The 4MV is postscript. Are you using the HP driver?
How about the HP1220C. Postscript? HP driver? |
