can't choose another formats for plotter

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 09:39:43 GMT

Good day helpers!

Please help me with this problem: in AutoCAD LT 2014 I can't choose another format for print in HP plotter. Was try any settings, no results. When trying to write my paper sizes for the plot (1000x3200) - plot settings not active for change. I see only standard formats that me no need and they all very small. Plotter HP Designjet T830 36in MFP (driver version 4, newest driver). Win10x64 OS.

Do you mean you cannot select other page /paper sizes?
Can you do that in other programs? If no, go ask for help at HP Support.

But if the answer is yes, then in AutoCAD are you accessing the same exact Windows driver (preferred)? I can't tell from your screenshot.

No, I mean I can't change or create new other page /paper sizes format for the plot. All I have it just standard formats, but they no need bcs my drawing size 1000x3200 so I need to change it.

Yes, I can do that in other programs.

OK, so you want a custom Sheet size? That's done in the Windows Driver on modern HP plotters.

Reach out to HP Support or their open Forums for guidance as well https://www8.hp.com/ug/sw/supportforums.html

Ye I want a custom Sheet size.

How I do that? HP or Windows drv doesn't let me do this.

>>>...How I do that?...<<<
Isn't that what this line is telling you to go?

Which then leads you to these

Or reach out to HP SUpport at the link I provided to you earlier on how to do it in the HP Windows driver.

Is this Russian by the way? There is a dedicated forum here if you want https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/russkiy/ct-p/5056
