Plot output device

[Anonymous]

Looking for suggestions on setting up output device on the network. We are
using win98 and 2k on a nt4.0(sp6) server with hp800 and 650c plotters. Is
there a way that win98 and 2k machines can use the same output device?
Currently we a configuration (pc3 file) for win98 and one for win2k.

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately you cannot combine PC3 files for different Operating System's as they are dependent on
the underlying system printer. Checkout the following solution:

We are essentially using the System Printer to create the PC3 file from, so this is an inherited
limitation if you like from Window's. I'm not sure this is something that we can control
unfortunately.
