Design Jet 500 problems (VBA printing, ISO sizes)

[Anonymous]

I have been playing with a VBA code to ease the printing experince in Inventor.

(from this: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-general-dis​cussion/printing-a-drawing-in-the-right-size-by-d...)

But when I try to send a print to my plotter, a HP Design Jet 500 HPGL2 Card, nothing happens. The document is showing from the windows printing queue but nothing comes out :-(. It dosen't even register at the plotter.

When I take the long way through the Inventor/windows printing dialog box it works, but that's kinda what I'm trying to avoid.

I think is must be a HP Design Jet Issue, but not sure, any hints??

Also it gives error when using "kPaperSizeA2", but that can be solved by using "kPaperSizeCustom".

I have attached my code (VBA, not iLogic)

Hi,

Could you please try to print programmatically from another VBA enabled application, e.g. Excel?

I wonder how that behaves.

Cheers,
