Oce 360 error: Invalid I/O type error exiting plot preview

kstate92 — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 15:00:30 GMT

New (to us) Oce 360 setup as a network printer with their WPD2 driver and Windows 10 clients running AutoCAD 2022.

Exiting out of the Preview of a plot, we receive this error dialog:

The printer does print the drawing correctly but this error persists. Searching does not turn up many matches to this error and most of them very old.

Check the driver you are plotting to, make sure it's pointing to a valid
output port/location for the device it's aiming for: you typically get this if you
recently moved (or bought new) a plotter, or relocated it on a network.

Ask your IT person for guidance, that message is a system/OS reporting.

Hmm. I think it might be the pc3 we were using for the prior network printer (and its port) that no longer exists. Changing it from Port to Plot to File seems to eliminate the I/O error dialog. We'll see.
