do they have dwg's in them? do they show up in print preview? if so then its the memory in your plotter and you need to process in computer. Try printing raster also.

They do not show up in print preview, but they do show up and look normal
before the print preview

what are the views of? are they masses? if so you can see masses on the screen, but you have manually go to VV and turn them on for them to print. time to call support I think.

They are not masses. They are views of line work and building parts

I had a drafting view in Revit of AutoCAD text that was linked in from our general notes. Those notes looked great when looking at them on the sheet but wouldn't plot. After starring at the properties of the drafting view to try and understand why only this one particular view out of 30 or so wouldn't plot I clicked "wire frame" (it was set to hidden line). This made no sense as a cause for the view not plotting, after all it was just AutoCAD text on a single layer linked into a drafting view. But guess what? it plotted! Maybe this helps your situation.

If I understand correctly, the problem is only with linked DWG files. In the view where you have placed the DWG file (including every instance where it's been copied and pasted throughout the project after the initial link was made), click once on the DWG image. Look up at the top right hand corner of the screen and you'll see a pull down menu with either background or foreground showing. By default this is set to background every time you link in a DWG. It will not show up when you print. That is also why changing the view settings to wire frame works. You see "through" the blank sheet. Just set the toggle to foreground instead of background for each imported DWG and you'll be fine. Also, when you reload we have had trouble with this setting reverting back to background, so be weary. The wireframe setting may be the way to go if you don't want to have to worry about resetting the toggle each time you reload.
