need help with plotting in autocad

hello, so im hoping someone can help me. since i cant post this to the correct board im posting it here. im using autocad 2000i with windows 7 that we just recently switched to(windows 7). eversince, my e-size dwgs have all been printing 2:1 scale. some even 4:1 !! so when i go to plot, i have to choose half scale on most of the e-size files otherwise they come out double the size and it requires me to babysit the plotter. my dwgs are drawn at 1:1 and the viewport scale is correct. even when i go into the windows plotter settings there isnt anything unusual that stands out. for the record its only the e-size dwgs. if anyone can help out that would be awsome. thank you

welcome to the forums.

 

While you wait for replies over here, you can also scan thru and consider posting in the Printing and Plotting forum and you'll notice a few posts over there with similar issues;

It might help to mention we may need more info such as 32 or 64 bit Win7, what printer are you having problems with as well as printer driver versions, etc.

 

I believe 2000i is not compatible with Win7 so what you have working so far is great.

yea i checked some of the threads out so far nothing matches what im looking for but ill keep looking. thanks for that. so i have windows 7 64 bit, the plotter is a canon ipf750 using the stock plotter driver (what came with it) version 4.53. so far everything works great between autocad 2000 and win 7 and im suprised that it works this well but im just having this issue and its wasting a lot of time and paper becuase if i dont run over to the plotter to check ea. dwg. then i might end up with a huge mess. ive looked into downloading an additional plotter driver the help but so far on canon's website nothing seems to be made for my version of autocad. i may have to go into my custom plotter properties and set all of my e-size dwgs to print at 50% or something ? have any thoughts? i will repost this thread over in the plotting section for extra help.
