Plotting in QC7 to HP600

[kartz]

Hello, one person in our organization is using QC so I don't have any experience with it. The rest of the county uses Land Developement Desktop r2i. Please bear with me. He wants to plot to our old HP600 (we now use an HP1050c). We have downloaded the driver from HP and set the properties similar to how they are set for our LDDr2i. For some reason, the page setup insists on plotting 8.5x11. No matter what I set the drawing size to, it wants to break the sheet up into 8.5x11 blocks. Any suggestions?

Make sure the driver in windows is set to the sheet size you want
Quickcad to print to. One way to check this is when in Page Setup go to
the Printer Page tab and look below Paper Size below the 2 boxes that
are usually grayed out. There should be a Driver: . This will show you
what the driver in windows is set to. If it shows 8 1/2x11 then Quickcad
will try to tile the drawing. Then you would have to go back to the
windows driver for the plotter and look for a way to reset the paper
size and orientation to want you want to plot to. The paper size change
should show in the Printer Page tab in Page setup.
