    Using an HP CP1700.
    Windows Printer
    2004LT
    XP Pro

    When printing a drawing to scale (11x17 paper), I find that the 'X' axis is
    off approximately 0.1" in 12". The 'Y' direction appears to be OK. What do
    I need to do to make the printer print to scale? I need to drawings to be
    1:1 as I use the drawings as templates for work I do.

    If you DO select 1=1 as scale in the printer dialoque, then the only way is to calibrate your plotter/printer
    But that is only possible with a plotter configured in AutoCAD using HDI drivers, i guess.

    I'm using the drivers which came with printer and there I can do
    calibration. I just did it to see it working.

    Thanks for your input. After reading the information in the H E L P !!
    files about calibrating the plotter I was able to accomplish same.
    Sometimes it helps to read, eh?
