    Hi,

    I have installed the HP printer driver from CD (HP DesignJet 500) on windows
    2003 SBS.
    The Hp designJet plotter is connected on lpt1 (server windows 2003 sbs).

    Everything works fine when I print from office documents. OS on workstations
    are Windows XP.

    I have problem only when I print from Autocad 2000 or 2002 LT because I can
    not add system printer from plotter wizzard. The error is "run time error"!
    There is no problem when I add from Autocad 2005 or 2004!

    I have HP driver 5.35.


    Does anyone have any experience with this printer?

    Thanks, Gregor

  5. Hi Gregor,

    <SNIP>

    I have had similar problems printing to the HP500 plotter. I did find a
    suggestion in this NG to download the Acad2k printing patch. Having done
    that, I have managed to install one of the "Windows system printers" and I
    can at last get some decent output from the PC running Windows XP now (I had
    been transferring the files to another running Win98 where the plot setup
    worked).

    Anyway, try this (watch out for word wrap - the URL is quite long
    http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2523151&linkID=2475161

    Good luck,
    Gordon Stephens.
