  1. Our office is running G4 & G5's with tiger and VW12. We recently purchased a HP Designjet 500 42" wide with a jetdirect card and haven't had any issues printing to it.

    The only issue that has come up is that the driver doesn't support rotating the paper when you are printing 24x36 so you waste paper and have to trim off the excess. You can get around it by setting up the page size as 36x24 and then rotating it...

    Hope that helps...

  2. Hello All,

    I am running V12 on a Mac printing to a HP500 over a network. We have our plotter loaded with 36" wide paper. The problem we are running into is that when we print 24x36 sheets in landscape we can't find a way to rotate the page to maximize paper usage.

    I know that on some of the other HP plotters they had an option to "autorotate", any ideas if the HP500 can do this, or any work arounds.

    Thanks.

  3. I to am looking for a plotter that is Mac compatible for printing mostly large format line drawings. I am looking at the HP500 and am wondering if I need the Postscript version or not.

    Can someone please explain why I would need a postscript plotter versus a non-postscript plotter?

    Thanks
