Were using VW 8.5.2 on Mac OS 9.2.2 and have recently purchased a HP 120 nr along with the optional RIP.
We have a mixture of G3 & G4 computers on an ethernet network, one G3 computer acts as a dedicated print server.
Each workstation has the HP Rip set up as a desktop printer using Adobe PS 8.8, which creates a PS file which it send to the RIP which then send it to the printer.
We have a number of problems and have had little help from HP.
1. Overlay layers don't work, they just print as if the layer is in paint mode. Any ideas???
2. With a 610mm roll of paper installed, an A2 landscape drawing prints in portrait format on the printer. We have got over this by creating an A2 landscape page in custom page sizes. The problem now is that the automatic cutter doesn't work on the custom page size. I suspect this is a problem for HP, but just wondered if anyone else has had this problem.
3. When sending more than one copy to print, the first drawing print out fine but the printer seems to crash half way through printing the second drawing or just cuts it short. Again this is probably a HP problem, but would like to here if anyone else is also suffering.
Do all HP design jets suffer this much when printing from a mac??? Should we just return it and buy an Epson?
