Check your plotter configuration. If your using a .pc3 file check to see that the setup is correct and your using the proper driver.

RE: slow plotting using autocad 2000

   Current versions of AutoCad use the windows drivers for printers instead of AutoCad's drivers. If under config command your are set to run to "default system printer" then the spool settings need to be changed under the printers directory in windows. Hp printers usually have drivers for printing directly for AutoCad, you can pick these up at the HP website. HP AutoCad drivers spool and output strings are designed specifically for plotting drawings and handle memory usage themselves
