    Hi.
    We have 3 OCE 9400 plotters that I"m trying to get to work on a 2003 server. I have tried the Raster driver built into 2003 and a driver I downloaded from OCE's website (it has a setup installation).
    Basically I cannot get the pc3 file that I create to center the paper correctly or cut the margins correctly. The driver appears to be identical to the NT 4.0 driver so I'm guessing it's something in the pc3 settings that I'm doing wrong. We use a .25 inch margin on all sides and the paper size I'm trying to work with is 24x36.
    Right now I've created a pc3 with the HDI file I downloaded from OCEs website. I've also tried creating a system pc3 printer file and that one though identical to the NT 4.0 pc3 file is worse than the one created with the HDI file. The HDI LV 4.x seems to work the best but it still gives the plot too big of a margin on the right and cuts half of the .25 margin off at the bottom.
    I was wondering what drivers on 2003 and how other people have created pc3 file for these types of plotters.
    Thanks!

    Go into the custom settings in the PC3.

    I have been in there so many times it isn't funny. What exactly am I looking for?? I have tried changing every setting in there, nothing helps.

    Try setting the margins on the paper sizes you use to 0".
