I've installed the HPIJS and Gimp-Print drivers on my Powerbook, and setup the HP DesignJet 430 which is connected to a Win2K box across my office LAN. It works fine, except... When I have a large drawing (we are using Graphisoft's ArchiCAD 9 and PlotMaker 9 for MacOS X and Win), longer than 96.1 cm (just over 36 in), well, the plotter will cut the paper off when it's spewed out those 96.1 cm of it - no more and that's it. Any ideas? BTW, I tried to Print to PDF instead of actually printing on the plotter, and when I opened it in Preview it showed OK, and the Info box displayed the proper paper size, 60.96cm x 100.00cm. Only when I tried to print *that*, it came out as a miniature of its real size, sitting comfortably in the middle of my large piece of white paper. !... As always, many thanks people.
