Plotting from IV7

When plotting from IV7 to a KIP Starprint 2000 Model
K-66 plotter, the .idw drawing must have all Lines Style
colors set to balck. Or they well be dotted and dashed.
Ex. If my Visible Edge line color is set to Orange, all visible lines will have a series of dots for a line vice a solid line, no matter what the line weight. Is there a setting that I am over looking when plotting?

Some where in the printer properties you should be able to set "all
colors to black" or in the greyscale a similar setting.

Yes, I looked on the printer and it has default pen settings and customs ones. I believe I'll have to set those some how. I was just checking to see if IV has a setting of sort.

Thanks.

IV uses the Windows print manager, everything (well, almost everything)
is controlled from there.
