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.

Answer
Stephen,

Have you tried printing by typing 'plot' or pressing 'Ctrl+P' to see if the plot dialog box even opens up?
If nothing, try reloading your standard menus. On the command line type 'menu' & reload your 'acad.mnu' file (you may have to search for it. Normally located under

C:\Documents and Settings\ [Your Profile Name]\ Application Data\ Autodesk\ Autocad 200X \ enu\ Support

On the Select Menu File dialog box, set the Files of type drop-down list to "Menu Template (*.mnu)" so you can see the full list of un-compiled menus.

Note:
Recompiling your acad.mnu supercedes previously loaded customized menus. If you customized any menu before this will have to be reloaded too, included your express tools. Do this by invoking the 'menuload' command & recompile the rest of those *.mnu.

Hope this helps, let me know!
-J.B.
