Dear Autocad experts everywhere. I am a new participant. My company just purchased Autocad 2009 and an HP Designjet 500 ( 24" Roll) for plotting. The HP Plotter has the network card and is plugged into a Cisco Switch. There is a dedicated new Dell Windows XP workstation running the autocad 2009 that is connected to the network. I can ping the HP from that computer and can print any Office document, or anything else. But I cannot print from the Autocad. It tells me it has an error and must shut down. I am the financial guy and just an educated user. HP says it is Autocad. Autocad says I have an HP problem. Can someone help? I would really appreciate it.
