Since changing from Windows 98 to Windows XP our Oce plotter takes much longer to spool jobs and won't keep plotting continuous when we send more than one copy. We are currently running Autocad 2004 LT and plotting through a windows system printer since we plot OLE objects on occasion. (The HDI drivers run faster but won't plot the OLE objects.) I've tried all of OCE's windows drivers and have found the older version 2.7 to work the best so far. It's very agrivating to know that the machine used to plot at a true 3-'D' sheets per minute as advertised in Win98 and is now down to 1 sheet per minute with the XP drivers. We spent big bucks for the speed of an OCE machine and now have the throughput of a much cheaper inkjet! Any help or advise would be much appreciated since OCE and our local rep is of no help so far!
