Timmy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi ! I just installed AC2011 on the windows7 and this appears when I try to choose the printer (HP1200) AutoCAD Warning Note: This plotter configuration cannot be used for one of these reasons: the driver cannot be found, the device cannot be found, or the driver has a problem. The none plot device has been substituted. Printing in other programs works great. And printing with AC2011 in WinXP works great as well. Does anyone know what's the problem ?

ReMark Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Sounds like the driver has to be reloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I did it again but it's the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I plot to a HP DesignJet 500+ and on occasion have had some problems plotting from 2010. I too have gotten the same message as you but have been able to come up with a work-around that involves deleting the printer via Windows and reinstalling the driver. Because of the age of the printer HP doesn't offer much in the way of updates to its drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Definitely it seems to be the printer driver, and on the HP site there is no driver for Win7 only some guidelines to automatically update (and i do all that without any problems). But worries me that everyting it is working on other programs, Word, Corel, Photoshop...not on AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 One would think it would still work with AutoCAD since it is a Windows compliant printer that you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I had to go back to the WinXP until the driver for Win7 appear, I tried similar drivers and there is still bag. Tnx for all ansers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sorry to hear that. The question is what will you do if HP does not issue an updated driver? It would sort of defeat the purpose of having Win7 if you had to rely on using WinXP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
