Printer problem.

[Anonymous]

I am using 2007. We just installed HP 2800 inkjet and it cuts off the right side edge of drawing. I contacted HP and they tried to help but ended up telling me to contact Autodesk about problem and I don't know what to try next.
Also when I try the add a plotter wizard I can not see the plotters after I add them. If I try again it tells me they are already there I just can't see them. Please help.

It is also cut off in the preview.
It cuts off .5 inch from the right side edge. If I go into the properties and expand the printable area to .1 margins it will print all but off center. Centering will again cut off the right side.
Also having trouble with the plotter wizard, but one thing at a time

Quick fix.....try a bigger sheet size....for 18" x 24" use 24" x 36" paper
and take the scissors to it. I don't think this is proper but it works. I am
guessing it has something to do with your plotter limits on the sheet
itself........let us know.

Thanks. Now that I know there is not a proper fix I'll start looking for alternatives. Hopefully I won't have to resort to the scissors, but I must admit I have whipped them out before in a bind. Trial and error and custom paper sizes helped work around that problem, so I remain hopeful for now.

JT part of my reasoning for attempting to get them to go to the P&P DG was
that this is a printer - not a plotter.

We just got one a couple weeks ago. It has capabilities for as large as
13x19 sheets, but that's it's extents.

Next time I will state all that I know regarding a situation where I make
that type of request.

Sorry I got "out of character", but the specialized help that they need will
be much more easily gained in that DG.

I'm normally one of the folks who will go out of their way to help L Meith,
but that's when I think my help will be beneficial. The folks on the P&P DG
have far greater experience dealing with printers than we do here. I hope
you can understand the reasons I'm saying this.

Sorry Don

I was just trying to help him get something out of the office quickly and
did hot realize it was a desktop printer. Actually I just bought a 9800
after my 1120c bit the bullet. I have never used the 13 x 19 sheet size. My
1120c barely did the tabloid correctly so I never tried the larger size.

Maybe I will head over to that dg myself and get up to speed on the 13 x 19
size.
Where are you guys getting that paper size?

We're using Xerox paper, as we also have access to a Xerox full-size
copier/plotter next door in a separate office - same owner.

Of course that makes it on the not-so-cheap side. 😉
