Plotting error

[Anonymous]

I am periodically getting the attached error when plotting. It doesn't happen all the time and isn't restricted to a particular drawing, mostly if i close and re-open the drawing it will plot with no problems but today it has refused to plot at all on one drawing, (which i plotted fine yesterday afternoon) on any of the 3 plotters, although it will happily print to the photocopier! 

I have looked into it a bit and it seems to think there is a driver problem, but I'm not sure i believe that as it works 90% of the time, so...any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

from PLOT dialog select your Printer/Plotter that end with .pc3 , try and  see if it's fixed .

Hi @Anonymous,

I am curious to see if you checked the one drawing for errors with AUDIT.  Do you also have a named PageSetup applied?  Can you print this one file to an AutoCAD PDF?

If you can share the file I am happy to take a closer look at it  for you.

Today it's a different drawing, the one yesterday plots with no problems!!

i have run an audit with no errors and yes, it will print to PDF. 

EDIT: closed the drawing and re-opened for the 4th time, for some reason it's plotted with no errors now.

Hi @Anonymous,

This could be as simple as a bad layout.  Which version of driver are you using? Are you using PCL5?
