Plot problems

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 21:35:29 GMT

I can not plot or print, even a pdf, and it's not the printer connection as it works from other programs.

thanks for any help.

your MacOS version is...?
Your AutoCAD/LT year version is....?
Has this ever worked? Or is something new/different today?

Hi Pandean,

It is Autocad LT 2015 for Mac, and yes, it did used to print fine...

I am an infrequent user so I'm not exactly sure when it stopped this function.

thanks very much

Hi Megan,

What macOS do you have on your Mac?
I'm asking, because the last macOS on which AutoCAD 2015 was supported is Mac® OS X® v10.11 (El Capitan). On later versions, it may work, but no one guarantees the correct operation.

Now I have upgraded my AutoCad to 2022. I am using Catalina 10.15.7

I now CAN print a pdf (phew) but still it would be a lot easier if I could print directly to my HP Envy 7858, which I still can not do. It prints other files. Any more thoughts?

thank you!

Megan

Hi Megan,

>>>>print directly to my HP Envy 7858, which I still can not do

What happens when you try to print directly from AutoCAD?

Do you see any messages from AutoCAD? from printer software?

Do you see the document you are trying to print in Print Queue?

Have you updated printer software for your HP Envy 7858?
