Ah, the mist is clearing, my crystal ball is picking up a signal and my Hazel branches are starting
to twitch
Had a similar problem with a client running plain old AutoCAD 2002 and two of us spent the best part
of a week trying to get to the bottom of the problem to no avail. In desperation I got an HP
JetDirect box out of the car (needed for another job later that day), configured it on the network,
connected the printer to it and reinstalled the printer drivers and it worked, so they purchased a
JetDirect box.
Thats all I can suggest. I don't know what is causing the problem - it appears to be a lottery as
to whether the printers work fine or not - but standalone print boxes usually sort the problem.
There are exceptions where they cause more problems and you then need to install the HP Standard
Port Monitor on each machine and print through this.
