graham Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Anyone have any thoughts or experience using HP Design 120 with VW 10 and MacOS 10? If you are using this set up are you using the HP drivers? Quote Link to comment
0 wvancampen Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I just bought a DesignJet 120nr with the HP driver v2.2, as well as VW10.1.2 and MacOS 10.2.6. There is a problem where often after printing, VW quits, and not only that often corrupts the file...not a good situation, obviously. HP did not have a clue, although my best hunch is that it may have something to do with my network i.e. it does not seem to happen with the computer directly connected to the printer. Nor does it seem to happen in OS9. See also the topic"vw 9x and hp designjet 100"....especially "cacamote"'s post which confirms the problem. Other than this, the printer is great.

0 Dan Reiss Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Folks: Take a look at Gimp-Print. [http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/]. A series of CUPS drivers ported to OS X. In many instances the drivers are superior to those supplied by the printer vendors. Read the FAQs for tips on networked vs directly attached setups. Quote Link to comment
0 Julia Williams Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I have just bought the hp designjet 120nr, and am also running VW10.1.2 on OSX 10.2.6 and I am having exactly the same problems!! I wish I'd checked the the Tech board first. VW not only quits after printing, it also does so after just asking for a print preview... Quote Link to comment
0 Julia Williams Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Is there any way to recover files damaged after printing? Please help! The message I get is "-39 end of file reached during read -FSREAD" and Vectorworks quits before it opens. I have lost an important presentation drawing. Quote Link to comment
0 farris Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I am (or was) planning to purchase the same plotter for use with VW 10 and Mac OX X 10.2.6. Can anyone tell me if the Gimp Print driver mentioned earlier by Riess works with this plotter? Certainly someone has tried it to solve the corrupt file problem. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
