PLOTTING BROKEN (VERY ANGRY)

Fusion wont print A1 drawings on a hp t525 and 620mm wide roll paper. 
Up until not fusion would automatically set the right size and orientation when selecting the printer. Now for some reason it wont print bigger than A2. As seen on the picture it will print A1 horizontally (as a2 should be printed) with  longer side horizontally and scaled down although the scaling is set to 1:1 and not fit to paper.   If i change the orientation it wont fit the whole paper but just the part as seen on the bottom side of the picture.

Sorry for the unexpected print result. May I know if you are using 2.0.18220 build, or if it worked well before but fails in 2.0.18220 build? This kind of information will be helpful for us to check if it is a regression and figure out the cause. 

 

I assume that you used the print command to print drawing files. Showing as attached video, I can get the right preview when print A1 and A0 drawing with 'Landscape' and 'fit to paper' options. Please check if there is any difference from your case. 

 

If it still does not work, please export drawing as PDF first (check if the exported PDF file is in right size), then print the PDF file and check if the print result is as exported. Thanks for your patience and support.

im using last build (.18220). Dont know when this started because, i havent printed A1 in awhile and a couple of windows and fusion updates were pushed out in the mean time i think. 

I use standard procedure. Ctrl+P . Then select the right plotter. At that point it does not set the right format itself but it  setts to last used. A2 prints correctly (long side horizontally)  but A1 prints exactly like A2 (just scaled down as if fit to paper and A2 format was selected).

 

I tried to 

 

On coworkers computer it works correctly.  

i also exported it to PDF and printed it via foxit reader and that came out the same as in fusion. 

 ACAD prints A1 correctly but I usualy use window to select print area and then set fit to paper. But id does come out as A1 

So I dont know it might also be windows doing.
