Guest Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 GA, Before printing, go to File Page Setup and select a different printer/plotter. Click on OK and save the file. Go back to Page setup and select the HP 800 again and try to print. If it still doesn't work, I can email a script you can run to clear the print information in the file in order for it to print. If the above doesn't work and you would like this script, please email me. tech@nemetschek.net?subject=ATTN:Katie Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 ga, Are you using a custom preset in the Print Dialog? If so, try plotting using the "standard" preset. If you do not get the error message on the standard preset, delete all your custom presets and recreate them from scratch. This cleared up the problem for us. Custom presets seem to get corrupted when the OS is upgraded. Hope this helps, PeterT Quote Link to comment
Sarah C. Sarnelli Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Go to HP's website. This is an OS related bug that has to do with presets made before version 10.2.3 or 4. We get this error message on several of or laser printers. Sarah Quote Link to comment
