AutoCAD Release 14 / 2000 If you experience problems when printing raster data, follow the four steps given above under General Notes ("Always spool raw datatype"). Large-File Problems If you experience some problems when printing very large drawings or long plots, please ensure that your system drive has at least 800 Mb of free space. You may also find it helpful to disable print spooling, as follows: Under Windows 2000: Start -> Settings -> Printers -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Print directly to printer" Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and faxes -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Print directly to printer" Timeout for Complex Print Jobs For particularly complex drawings you may need to change the printer spool settings. This may be done as follows: Under Windows 2000: Start -> Settings -> Printers -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Start printing after last page is spooled" Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and faxes -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Start printing after last page is spooled" INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS You should have Windows running and displaying the desktop; we recommend rebooting your computer before installing a driver. Standard Installation Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions that appear on your screen. If no instructions appear on your screen, run the setup.exe program on the CD-ROM. Manual Installation If you cannot or prefer not to use the standard installation process, you can install the driver from the CD-ROM by following these steps: 1. If the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by network without being stored on another computer, you must create a network port before installing the driver (consult your network documentation or network administrator). 2. Under Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, Printers to open the Printers dialog box; then double-click the Add Printer icon to open the Add Printer Wizard dialog box. (We recommend that you do not use the New Driver button in the Printer Properties dialog box to install or upgrade this driver.) Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, click Start, Control Panel, Printers and other hardware, Printer and faxes; then click Add Printer in the frame labelled "Printer tasks". Under Windows Vista, click Start, Control Panel, Printers; then click Add Printer in the Toolbar. 3. Follow the steps displayed on your screen, answering the questions as appropriate. Below is some basic advice for some of the questions that you may be requested to answer, depending on your system configuration. You may be asked whether your printer is connected directly to your computer, or connected indirectly through another computer. Select: * "My computer" or "Local printer" if the output you send to the printer will go directly to the printer by cable or network without being stored on another computer. * "Network printer" if you will send output to the printer via another computer. In this case, all settings for the printer are managed by a printer server that has been set up by an administrator. If you are prompted for the manufacturer and model of your printer, Click Have Disk... Then in the Install From Disk dialog box, enter the location of the driver on the CD-ROM (the same folder as this ReadMe file) and click OK. Select your HP Designjet printer from the list and click Next. If you want to install several drivers you will need to repeat this procedure. You may be asked whether you want to keep the existing driver or use the new one. Select "Replace existing driver". You may be asked whether you want to print a test page. We recommend that you select "Yes". By printing a test page you will test the communications link between your system and the printer. If you are sharing the driver with Windows 95, 98, or Me, you may be informed that a file from Windows 95, 98, or Me is needed. All the necessary files are located two folders up from this ReadMe file, in the "9X" folder. (c) Copyright 2001-2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP. All rights reserved.
