GRIP Plot NX 3 problem

[Vann]

I copied the following bit of code from the UGS site to plot all drawings in NX 3(Note: I replaced their default plotter name with my hp1050c)

--------------------------------------------
string/ dname(30)

inextn/ &drwg
a20: dname = nextn/ ifend, a70:
PLOT/PRINT,'hp1050c',PROFIL,'<System Profile>',dname
jump/ a20:

a70: halt
----------------------------------------------
However, I get the following error when I try to run it:
Error 1549139 at line 5
Unknown plotting printer, profile or group designation

It seems pretty straight forward. I don't know what I am missing. I am using UG NX 3.0.3.0 on Windows XP SP2.

Replace the '<System Profile>' with the actual name of a plotter profile stored on your system, something like: 'c:\plots\profile.dat'.

Thanks Ben,

I'm still not there yet. I have a printer directory on my C:\ that our UG admin must have set up. It contains a file called "BP.dat" that has very little info in it. It has another file named "defaultprofiles" that shows a list of all my available printers and plotter when I open it in Notepad.

When I point the program to either of these files (or others in the list) , I get the same error message as before.

I would try to look this up in the help files myself, but we got the wrong disc shipped with our NX 3 so I am flying blind.

I will keep screwing around with it and see what I can do. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though.
