B.Howell Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I have been trying to create a custom title block. To do this I have imported company logos from the art department. These are imported in various formats and extensions. They import fine. I first tried to print a straight import. No luck. I then went through the Resource Browser and "applied" them as both objects and also as images. No luck printing. Next I used the attributes pallet to apply them. Looked good. Would not print. By not printing I mean that I would get an error message form the printing queue and not even get to the printer. The layers would print until I added these images or objects. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 What message are you getting? How large is the VW file now that you've imported the images? Also, what OS and what printer are you using? [ 02-12-2003, 02:38 PM: Message edited by: Katie ] Quote Link to comment
B.Howell Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 Katie, Thanks for you speedy reply. File size as shown on printing queue is anywhere from 56k to 166k. Error message is "error printing" , no more and no less. Windows XP Pro o.s. with a HP 5000N LaserJet I have run diagnostics on the printer and found no problems. That does not necessarily mean that there aren't any. The file size seems awfully small considering that the images come in much bigger than that. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Can you check the actual size of the VW file? Did you install the driver for this printer from a disc provided with the printer, the Win XP built in driver, plug and play, or by downloading the driver from HP? what version of the driver do you have installed? (Printers folder in the control panel. Right click on the 5000 N and select properties. The driver should be in there somewhere.)

B.Howell Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Katie, I checked the actual size of the files. Some were in the 100k range and some were about 1 Meg. I managed to get a 100k bitmap to print along with the test Title Block. It looked very good. I blew it up to check on pixelization and printed it by itself. It printed fine except it was backwards (mirror image) even though it was correct on the screen. I'll keep working on it. Quote Link to comment
