I am trying to print on A2 using Autocad2000 and Canon BJC-5500 but only get print on one a4 size corner of the paper. The printer prints ok on A3 and A4 from ACAD and can print ok on A3 from Photoshop.
Any ideas?

depends....what setting are you using when you're printing...make sure that you do a full print preview before you print the document to make sure that it is all on the page.

Click the print icon. Select the printer. Click on the plot settings tab and select the paper size. Note down the maximum printable area. This is the maximum size you can print on the paper you selected. If you are printing from model space the area you are printing needs to be either smaller than the maximum printable area or you need to use a scale as you plot from the plot dialogue box. If you are printing from paper space, again you need to make sure the area you want to plot (presumably your title block) is smaller than the maximum printable area. Then print your title block at 1:1 scale.
