    Hi,

    I'm runing AutoCAD 2000i, 2002 & 2004 on Windows2000. I receive the
    following error
    message when I use the same IP address for a Windows printer as AutoCAD's
    HDI printer driver:

    "You have at least one Windows System Printer configured for IP_10.0.0.59,
    so the HDI driver cannto open IP_10.0.0.59 directly. The output will be
    spooled through a System Printer, which usually works fine. The HDI I/O port
    configuration will not, however, take effect. To allow direct output to
    IP_10.0.0.59, all System Printers configured to use IP_10.0.0.59 must be
    reconfigured not to use IP_10.0.0.59. The appearance of this dialog may be
    controlled in Tools/Options/Plotting."

    Question:
    1. If I use printer servers for both Windows & AutoCAD, the error message
    goes away. Is there a limitation when it comes to using IP addresses for
    printing?

    2. I tried looking in Tools/Options/Plotting for an option to turn off this
    notification. But I found none. Is there a way to just disable this
    message box from ever coming up?

    Hi,

    Regarding question no 2, have a look at the drop down list called System
    printer spool alert in Tools > Options > Plotting
