I HAVE JUST UPGRADED TO LAND DESKTOP 2007 AND CAN'T FIND A DRIVER THAT WILL WORK WITH MY OLD HP250C PLOTTER. I HAVE TRIED THE ONE ON HP WEB SITE BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO PLOT THE ENTIRE DRAWING. ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS OR LINKS. I AM USING XP PROFESSIONAL . THE PLOTTER WORKS FINE WITH MY 2004 VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE.:bloodshot:

first off, you don't need to use caps to get your message across, we understand you are in need...

go to HP's website and download drivers, makes sure that the old ones are removed or replaced...

can it print? if so what is left out? what led you to believe that the drivers are no good? was the 2004 software on the same computer? what were the configurations? if this is the same computer and all you did was upgrade the land desktop software than i don't think you need to update drivers... have you tried going to the land desktop website to view FAQs or anything like that?

You might try creating a .pc3 for it and see what result you get. Sometimes I have weird issues with printing, especially to .pdf where it only prints half the drawing. I found that if I click properties > custom properties > OK > OK and create a .pc3 that it will correct the issue even if nothing has been changed in the properties.

If anyone has any further info on this issue please post it. I'd love to know why it does this. I'm too lazy to try and figure it out on my own.o:)
