Plotting to a HP Z6100ps


Stephen Comber

Question

We are trying to print a large VW file to an HP Z6100ps plotter.

The drawing file size is a complex (lots of tree symbols and planting areas created by plant line tool and revision cloud tool) site plan approximately 60Mb in size.

We are getting the following error message: Unable to send trailing nul to printer: broken pipe.

We have tried various things to get around this error including creating smaller jpegs/ pdfs but they are still taking an eternity to both spool to the printer and have the printer process. The final print quality is suffering as well.

Does anyone know of a way to reduce the file size for plotting purposes. Would creating a symbol for all trees help for instance.

All suggestions gratefully accepted.
