Hello

I´m having an odd problem with our new printer.
I have autocad 2012 running on windows 7 (64 bit) and our multifuntion printer is Konica Minolta bizhub c220.

When I print something in A3 size, everything works. When I print something in A4 size, everything works.
If I print something in A3 size, then print again, "previous settings" and change the papersize to A4 the printer notifies that I should add A4 -paper to "tray 2" which is the A3 -tray. If I print first A4 and then opt for printing in A3 the same thing happens. On the latter case the printer prompts me to add A3 -paper to A4 -tray ("tray 1")

Other programs print perfectly well in such situations and also another computer with another cad, but the same printer (autocad 2009 and win xp) prints perfectly.
I tried to copy the PC3 -file from the other computer that didn´t help.

Copymachines serviceman said the problem is within the cad, but shouldn´t it be on both machines then?

Edit: It seems that now I can´t print A4:s at all with this partcular computer and cad-combo.
On top if it all autocad seems to think that it´s doing a smashing job. even though the printer is giving the paper-change message, the autocad-program is happily telling how well the printing went:

I think it is a driver related problem that came to light when you moved to a 64-bit version of Windows/AutoCAD.
