As I have mentioned on this list a while ago my company is still struggling to plot reliably with VW10.5.1.
The problem is similar to that which many people have reported: text printing out as black blocks a significant amount of the time. This problem has been present since installing VW10. VW8.5 had no problem with the same setup.
Computers are running Windows 2000 with the latest service packs and patches.
Plotter is a HP800 with a built in JetDirect Card; printing is over the network.
We have the latest plotter firmware: A.02.10
We have the latest printer driver: 5.35
We have tried fiddling with the spooling settings; I have tried turning spoolsmart off; we have tried the rasterizing print option. I think that rasterizing has produced the best results but it isn?t perfect and takes ages to print. With 15 architects trying to plot all the time it isn?t really workable. Recently we upgraded the plotter memory to the maximum but it hasn?t helped.
The amount of time and paper, (and now memory) we have wasted over the last year or two has probably more than doubled the price we paid for VW10!!
