I have a problem when printing a drawing with image inserted. The image is not printing out, only the border is printing. But i can able to print to pdf. Preview is showing fine. Can anyone give a solution. 

I work with images a lot.  Mainly county sized stuff and it's a bugger.
I finally had to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit and install 8GB of ram before things started working directly out of ACAD 2011.  Even now I still have problems with images not printing, crashes, locking up.

I tell you.  I've dealt with this issue a lot.  And I've been pulling what's left of my hair out by the roots.

Before the upgrade (and even now) this is what my process was for printing drawings with large images (aerials mostly):

Restart Windows with the 3GB switch on.

Open dwg in ACAD 2008.  That's right.  It has always been stable for me.

Print drawings in DWF format.  I'd publish a few at a time, shut down ACAD, reopen it, then print a few more.  I had a lot less crashes and memory issues. 

Print DWFs.  I would print them to PDFs and noticed a huge file size difference from 2008 to 2011.  2008 file sizes were smaller.  Why?  Who the heck knows.

Note this as well: In your printer/plotter devices, adjust the Raster Graphics and OEM sliders.  I moved my slidders to the middle and also noticed a huge file size difference and was able to plot easier.

Also, if you have multiple images in the drawing, for some reason when printing the drawing and images are joined (as opposed to one solid image) the file sizes are huge.  Again ... no reason why. 

I downloaded a trial of Raster Design and merged the county images and when I printed the drawings they were considerably smaller.

It's all about memory, unstable "Newer" versions of AutoCAD, resources, plotting devices, and holding your mouth open right.

Since ACAD 2009 I have had memory issues galore.  I've been back and forth with AutoDesk and never had any resolutions.  I've cussed and screamed and left work early because of it.  For several years I was working on a 3 county project with aerials.  It was a fricken nightmare trying to plot over 100 drawings into PDFs for the client in multiple stages of development.  I tried so many things with little results until I figured out all this stuff.  I honestly loathe AutoCAD because of the changes since 2009.  It's all fluff and no stuff.  It's like a narcoleptic on Nyquil. When it's ready to quit.  It goes comatose.

Me?

We are an engineering firm and most of our work is mapping and station design (a good bit in 2D).  AutoCad has been our staple since I started here in the early 90s.  In the past several years clients want their mapping designs incorporated with aerial photography and on a coordinate system to upload into GIS.  We use ACAD Map for this.  But all the aerial photography boggs ACAD to a crawl.  Even Xref'd in.

Autocad cannot handle it. Let alone the parcel data, road data, row data, stream/water body data, easement data, pipeline data, etc.  The thing is, I'm used to Autocad and I honestly don't want to learn a new program.  But if Autocad cannot keep up, I guess I'll have to.  Municipals and counties need data a certain way for regulation purposes and we need to provide it quickly.
