    For some strange reason our plotter/cad setup has just started to throw up
    an error message in 2005 when selecting the Designjet 800ps plotter. Its
    happened only on one work station.The other is OK.

    We can print a test page from the plotter properties dialog box.
    We can print to the plotter from word, pdf etc.

    But when selecting the plotter from 2005 it throws up the error message Test
    Failed.

    When we Ok the error message the next box says driver not found or device
    not found or the driver has a problem.

    We have run a reinstall/repair of 2005.

    We think it's a CAD problem but anyone in here come across this before and
    if so whats the solution.

    TIA

    Mel.

    *** ALL problems everybody is experiencing when click on PRINT are becouse
    drivers are not perfect:
    you need a good driver

    go to www.winline.com



    "Printing in color from Windows is a complex ballet of application software,
    the printer driver, and even the video driver."
    - PC Magazine

    ----------------------------------------------

    From Autodesk:
    "Other important consideration when finding a driver is to consider
    the type of plotter you have, the Autocad version, and the Operating
    System.
    For example, you would need a specific driver for an
    HPDJ 250 plotter for ACAD 14.
    This particular driver would probably not work for
    an other HP DJ plotter running in ACAD 13".
