We get this error when trying to plot some older CAD drawings. Once this error pops up, it goes in an endless loop of popping the error up. The only way to get around it is to Ctrl-Alt-Del and end task on AutoCAD. I have read many if not all replies on this subject and in all cases they ask if all the stations have the same network printers installed with the same name. We do, however the problem may be due to the fact that some of our older drawings were printed on a printer that is no longer functioning and is not on our network anymore. Please tell me Auto Desk doesn't expect us to never upgrade/replace printers? Is there a fix for this issue? The only thing I have found to fix the problem is to select all entities in the drawing, copy them to the clipboard, and paste them in a new drawing.
The real kicker of this problem is that you don't know which drawings will have this problem and which ones don't. 9 times out of 10 it happens when you are working on 1 drawing and pull up another for reference. You wind up getting kicked out of all drawings and loosing all work done after the last auto-save.
