Unable to plot in portrait orientation

Unable to plot in portrait orientation

Unable to plot in portrait orientation

(OP)
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have Solid Edge version 16, and I am unable to plot to my HP Designjet 230 in portrait orientation.  I was able to do this with Cadkey.  This has limited me to a maximum of 22" wide C-size, I can't print D size at all.
Things I have tried:
>If I go to File, Sheet Setup, in Solid Edge and change the orientation to "C Tall(17in x 22in)" it only prints the left side of the document.
>I have programmed the plotter to "Rotate 90 degrees" using the Setup Sheet.  This has no effect (I am sending a landscape print job to the plotter).
>If I select Portrait Orientation in the Print Dialog, the document prints landscape in the middle of the portrait oriented paper.
>Selecting/deselecting Autorotate in the Print Dialog has no effect.
I've tried every possible setting combination I could come up with.  Any ideas?
Thanks.
