As the title says,when I print any dwg file in Acad '08 it always makes a line on the middle of paper. It can not be seen in model or layout tab (because it doesnt exist!?) and even when i look at preview before i print there is not that line anywhere. But when it comes out of the printer its there. :x

I reinstall driver and even found a new one but the problem is still there. In MS word and any other application printed documents are OK.

here is a pic. its a A4 paper with some model printed on my HP Laserjet 1020. Friend's printer prints it without a line, mine has a line like is shown on picture.(vertically, always on the same place)

Hi,

Does it really do this with any old AutoCAD print? Have you tried just printing an A-size rectangle? Howabout have you tried reducing/increasing resolution in the driver? My thinking anout something like this is a defective memorychip. If you print the AutoCAD dwg to pdf and then from pdf to the printer, how'bout then?

I have tried both and it prints normally - it doesn't draw that line. But it's not centered and scaled as it is in layout, even though I used standard A4 format paper.
