    Calcomp Techjet 5500 won't rotate plot

    Can't print a 36x24 dwf in landscape, always plots portrait. I can plot
    just fine from cad using the Autocad driver but not if I use the windows
    printer driver. I use the dwf format in order to print spreadsheets in cad.
    They won't plot using the Autocad driver(or I don't know how)
    Calcomp Techjet 5500 36" roll feed w/72 meg ram
    Latest NT driver I could find at Calgrahic web site.
    Dell laptop
    OS: XP Pro
    1 gig ram
    P4 1.9 processor

    Any help or ideas much appreciated

    Did you change the orientation to Landscape in the Windows driver before
    plotting to the Window driver?

    Perhaps you should also post this in the print-plot discussion area, found
    under AutoCAD at http://discussion.autodesk.com

    I believe the orientation was at landscape, that's what is showing now. I
    have reposted to print-plot also. One thing I noticed, the windows driver
    does not have all the paper sizes available that are listed in the autocad
    driver, such as Arch D and Arch D expanded.

    Perhaps the Windows driver is set not to display them? Or you have to select
    an option to display more sizes? Or you can create a custom sheet size in
    the Windows driver?

    Dean,
    Thanks, I'll try the custom page size. Seems like I did this when my OS was
    NT4. Sometimes I have trouble finding things in XP that I knew in NT.
