AutoCAD 2012 for Mac Printing quality

I am using a trial version of Auto CAD 2012 for Mac and plotting to a HP Designjet 500.  I cannot seem to achieve a quality output, the lines are very pixelated. When I print it from the PDF Preview the quality is slightly better but still not really anything you would want to show a client. I am assuming there is some type of problem with the printer driver for the Mac OS X, Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

Yes you are right Mac OS system printer driver for HP DesignJet 500 is rather bad, I know this from my own experience. So all questions we have to address to HP and Apple ;(

My workaround - print from Windows (in virtual machine)

I have the same problem with my Hp Designjet 500. I cannot print with quality. I tried to contact HP but with no result. Please Autodesk! Talk to HP to fix this driver!
