Acad14 Printer Port closed??
Acad14 Printer Port closed??
(OP)
Autocad 14, Windows XP Pro, HP Notebook 800 PIII, 256 ram, HP Designjet 330 plotter connected to LPT1.
When I try to print to the HP DesignJet 330 I get the following error:
"The operating system detected the following error(s) on LPT1. Plotter disabled. *Cannot open port."
The plot never prints. I have the latest HP designjet print drivers installed (XP compatable) and the Acad Phantom OLE/ADI drivers. I used to have Windows ME in this computer before I installed XP Pro (full install, NOT an upgrade) and it worked fine.
If I go to the printer properties, I can print a test page and if I make the HP DJ330 the "default Printer" it will work (setting up the paper size and pens is next to impossible so this is not a solution).
I don't think this is part of the problem but my filing system is "FAT32".
Thanks for any help!!!!

Mine was "checked" and set to "win 98/me" and that was causing my ploting problem. It also would not let me copy and paste from one drawing to another, it would open a new drawing when I would try to paste.
Hope this helps,
