print error

[Anonymous]

I have just loaded the 2019 AutoCAD LT subscription onto my office workstation (upgrading from AutoCAD LT 2010)  and now I can no longer print to my plotter HP 1050C

Here is the error Message:

Thank you in advance - luckily I have not deleted my 2010 version so I can save down and print but I shouldn't have to...

Your 1050c is too old for newer AutoCAD versions: start looking for a replacement, a popular replacement (you can find it second hand occasionally for even less money) is the HPT930 or explore the option of contracting out your large plot jobs if you are in a region where there is a lot of competition for that.

In the meantime you can print to PDF, then from your PDF viewer to the plotter.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I'm not excited about this but we will find a way to deal with the inconvenience. Sorry for the duplicate post as well. i am new to forums and posting.
