    I just bought quickcad relaese 6 and i want to plot an A0-format autocad
    drawing, when want to put my printer page to A0 , there is nothing in the
    box where you can select the format of the paper, In the box are the words
    "use drive settings" and thats it. The drive settings are A4 format, but i
    have set the standard paper size to A0, so now he prints my A0 in all
    seperate A4's. I have an HP Designhet 750C plus and there is somewhere in
    the print box the words " Driver not recognized" what to do ?

    Bacon,

    Try going to the File>PrintPreview screen. Then choose Page (at the top) and
    from the Page Setup tab select the A0 size from the drop-down box. Then tick
    Tiling Pattern. Now select the Printer Page tab and choose Use Driver Settings
    in the Page Size box. Click OK. In the PrintPreview screen make sure you choose
    the Fitted To Printer Page and the proper view to print. See if that helps.

    It's how you might do it in AutoSketch and it oughta be close.

    You need to make sure that the printer you wish to use is set as the default
    before you open the File>Print commands.

    If you then cannot see the range of paper size the printer supports, it may
    indicate the printer driver is the wrong one or it has been installed
    incorrectly.
