Plotting a plot file to an HP750c plus

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Marshall Caudle, Aug 12, 2003.

  1. I'm trying to plot a plot file to send to a print house. They want a plot
    file made to an HP750C Plus which is a plotter we don't own or have
    connected to the computer.

    I've configured an HP750C Plus under the Plotter Manager. I've tried
    plotting with the
    ".ctb" file I normally use for our hp600 but all my plot previews show up in
    color. I don't want a color plot - I want a black and white plot.

    Can anyone help me figure out how to do this.

    Thanks!

    Please resend email - I didn't receive it to my knowledge. My ISP has been
    having some troubles lately so it may be in the ether somewhere.

    Thanks!

  3. I have to start reading the whole post and then remember what it sayes befor
    replying.

    I don't use Plotter Manager and have found that it can be done without it.

    Simply install a "Windows System Printer" on you computer and AutoCAD will
    find it and show its list of printer(unless you have it set to "hide system
    printers".

    Then select the windows system printer and change the properties to what you
    want and "SAVE" it as a pc3 file.

    Works like a charm.
