Problem getting Colour drawing to plot black on white.

I'm using Autocad 2002LT and I have two different drawings to plot. I'm on Windows XP operating system with a TechJet 5536 Plotter (don't laugh it's the only one available.)

One drawing is my own work and one is from a supplier they have emailed to me.

When producing a plot of my own drawing, I can easily plot monochrome, the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.ctb.

When producing a plot of the suppliers drawing, it will only plot colour even though the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.stb.

I can edit the monochrome.ctb colours if I wish to but I do not seem to be able to edit the colours of the monochrome.stb plot style.

Any help you can give would be useful.

Without other CAD Guys or Gals here I cannot bounce my problems off them as I'm the only one providing AutoCAD drawings.

After getting some information from another source I converted the drawing from using STB to using CTB by typing convertpstyles in the commandprompt line. This worked completely.

 

I dare say I'll find another problem. Then I'll have to ask for more assistance again.

Sweet Gary, that's a keeper ;) Thanks.
