    I cant seem to get my AutoCad 2002 to plot to a HP 1050 Bi-Directional. Am i just missing some setting or something?

    Thanks

    In general terms, the 1050c only prints bi-directional in monochrome mode.
    (It will print bi-directional color in draft mode.) I use two different pc3
    files, one for monochrome drawings and one for color drawings. You must go
    into printer properties through the pc3 file to the options tab and tell it
    to print "color as grayscale". Save this file as your monochrome pc3 file.
    It does not matter if your ctb file is set to all black or that the light
    for monochrome is lit up on your printer. Software settings override
    hardware settings. You still must check the grayscale box in printer
    properties.)

    For complete details go to:

    This spells it all out for each media type.

    If you're referencing to duplex printing, it has never been supported by acad, event thought with 2005.
