Plotting error

Plotting error

(OP)
I just bought a used HP Designjet 450C 24".  I installed new printer/driver.  I tried to print a test page.   Nothing printed.  I checked the print log and it said "print error".
The plotter displays status ready.
Does any one know how to set up the plotter and Window XP Home Edition?
TIA

RE: Plotting error

Is this the setup for Windows or from AutoCAD. It can be set up for each and different solutions for each.

Yesterday, I got my friend to help me with the set up.  Now I can print the drawing in color.  What is the step to make it print black only?
TIA

RE: Plotting error

This is set with the PlotStyles. I am guessing with your Plot dialog box (there should be an arrow in the lower right corner - this expands the dialog). Choose something like monochrome for the plotstyle and then plot. Let us know if this fixes it.
