No Printing From Revit to Plotter

[Anonymous]

I have a problem where I cannot print to a HP1050C plotter from Revit MEP 2009. I can plot to normal laser printers from Revit and I can print to the HP1050C plotter from AutoCAD, but I cannot print to it from Revit.

I have 4G of RAM in my computer. I have the WebUpdate #3 for Revit MEP 2009. The drivers are updated on the plotter. Other people in my office can print to the HP1050C plotter from Revit. I can't.

I don't understand what might be the problem. I also cannot print any non-AutoCAD files to the plotter (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have the plotter configured through AutoCAD, and not a general Windows printer driver installed for the plotter. Does the printer show up in the Windows Control Panel > Printers? If not, I would seek out a Windows printer driver for your machine.
