AutoCAD/Printing Advice
Expert: Bob - 8/8/2006
Question"I have been working with AutoCad 2002 on typical installation and have had no problems with printing. However, I recently installed the full version and now cannot print by pressing the print icon, could you please help with this problem.
I am using Windows xp pro with an Epson printer and you are a god if you can get this thing to print."
AnswerHi -- I am not sure what you mean by "full installation".
The three ways to plot-- ("print" is not the word for AutoCAD) -- are they all not working?
-- printer icon (PLOT)
-- type PLOT at the command line
-- FILE >> PLOT
(if just the icon is not working, I would assume you accidentally messed up something with customization or a 3rd party software)
You dont say if you are getting a plot dialog box, but cant actually print. Normally, you would see your printer listed and choose it.
If you are missing function of parts of AutoCAD, go to Control Panel, and do a repair installation. Perhaps you have an old computer and are short of hard drive????
I cant tell more from the little you wrote, so write back with all possible facts if this does not do it.
