    this has been posted before but was never answered ;

    ------
    All of the sudden all of our workstations are getting the same error message
    when we try to plot "Unrecognized version and cannot be read". If you hit
    "Ok" it kicks you out of AutoCAD. If you hit "Cancel" about 5 times, it will
    eventually plot. I looked in the AutoCAD "Knowledge Base" (TS65521) and it
    said it was caused by a corrupt plot stamp file (.PSS). The 3 solutions
    given were to edit the file in Notepad, use a different plot stamp, or turn
    off the plot stamp. I have tried all 3 of these to no avail. Has anyone else
    run across this problem? It happens on our plotter and all of the other
    small printers in the office. It happens with all drawings. We are running
    Acad 2k2 - SP1 on Win 2000 machines. As far as I know, nothing has changed
    on our network as of this morning.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.------so anyone know what to do, I
    have the same exact situation here and I needto resolve it fast.thanks for
    any help or idea I could try.

    Is the file from some other team, like saved as AutoCAD 2004 format?

    I work at a print house and have seen this a few times...

    Just a thought....

    No, I tried recreating the .pss file with the same acad version. We all use
    2000i here.

    Thanks

    uninstalling and reinstalling AutoCAD fixed the problem...but a solution
    like that sucks. If you try it, be sure to delete the AutoCAD subfolder
    from your Program Files folder before reinstalling.

    If anyone has a better solution, please share it!

    See ya
