Hi all,
We have a new plotter HP DesignJet 800PS. It's working fine with other software but with Pro/E we have some problem's with the amount of paper we are using. It's seem like the printer always use a 54¨ long piece of paper, even if we send a D format. He roll's down the paper and then start to print with the format we asked. We also have a hard time with the offset and the rotate. We have tried to change the driver and it did not change a thing.

If someone can help me, it would be realy helpful.

thank's
NrM

Hello NrM - Just to add to your post. We have a HP DesignJet 500 with Pro/E 2001 and have the very same problems. The plotter wastes an extremely large amount of paper to the point where I'm plotting D-Size 1/2 scale and just using B-size paper. But the problem with that is scale, even though I have it set 1:1 it's not plotting to scale.
