HP 500 Print Problem

I can not print in AutoCAD 2005, but other programs like Word and Print Test
Page work fine.

I just recently rebuilt my system (HDD format, reload Windows XP, Programs
etc) and I am using the latest drivers and firmware from the HP support
site.

When I send a plot from AutoCAD I am getting a System Error 79:04 on the
plotter that says it has powered down. I searched HP support and this
relates to a firmware error. However, it only happens with AutoCAD!

Driver Name: hpltdrv7.dll
Driver version: 6.03

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

The firmware works with other software, and has printed previously with
AutoCAD. AutoCAD is the only program that is giving the error. Word
prints, test page prints, everything but AutoCAD.

 

You need to contact HP support about their firmware error and how to
Since the plotter is working properly with other programs, it seems like
AutoCAD group would be the best place to find assistance with an AutoCAD
printing problem.

Yes, I am using a PC3 File. Have even tried creating a new PC3 just in case
the other was corrupt.
Test print do?

As stated in my first post, Word files and the Test Print page are just
fine. AutoCAD is the only program with problems.
If this helps any, Plotting to my HP 1220C (B size 11x17) works just fine.
The only problem is with the Designjet 500.

Anything else I can tell you?

 

Thank you for your effort to enlighten me. I didn't quite understand what
you were saying. But you were right. It was printing through the system
driver. The problem was not the firmware. The problem was with the new HP
Drivers conflicting with the old PC3 files. I had to recreate the PC3 files
and everything is working fine now.

Again, Thanks. And did I mention, Thanks!
