SW2008 Crashing 2

[scobby]

We are using SW2008 and everytime I try to plot something the software encounters a problem and has to close. I can print out a part drawing on a 8 1/2 x 11, but if I switch the printer to the plotter it crashes. I have tried plotting on another computer that has the same software and it crashes. I was able to plot a document from MS Word, so this proves that it is the software. When we were using SW2007 I was able to plot fine. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

So--the usual question--what SP are you using?

Do you get a print preview prior to printing to the plotter?

About 90% of the time with Plotter issues it turns out to be a bad Driver. Try updating your Driver.

Theophilus - SP2.1
SBaugh - When I try to print preview it crashes also.

Thanks,

SP2.1, eh? Have you seen this:
thread559-209181

Not necessarily limited to printing issues, but certainly some other issues with that SP.

What is the plotter (old or new)?

Just to follow up. We updated the driver and now we are plotting fine. I hope this helps anyone that comes across this problem. Thank you SBaugh for your help.
