Printing Small

[siderus]

I am running Auto Cad 2012. For some reason that I can't figure out when I try to print the last few jobs, they are are printing too small. For example I setup paperspace for 24 x 18. Blow out the project to fit in the entire space. The printer, which by the way is an HP Designjet T2300, pulls out enough paper but the actual job is smaller. It has happened with a few different projects. Here is a strange part. If I print to a PDF then print the project from Acrobat...it's fine. I am quite baffled. Never did this before. Everyting was fine up until a few days ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did this problem resolve itself?

No can't figure it out. Tried rebooting. Just not sure.

Can you post a copy of one of the DWG files so we can have a look at it and perhaps try printing it ourselves?

 

We'll need to know your print settings as well.

Verify your Plot Area (extents,display, etc) and Plot Scale (fit to page, 1:1, etc) are set to your needs.

That could be printer issue/setting not AutoCAD, check it as well in Properties..., e.g. paper format.

Sorry I was out of the office for a few days. It seems that everything is as it should be. I haven't, intenially anyway, changed anything. What I was doing until I figure it out was to print to PDF then print it from Adobe and it's fine but if I print direct to my plotter is shrinks it for some reason. Can't figure it out.
