invalid hardcopy configuration
invalid hardcopy configuration
(OP)
I have plotted from the same computer for about 4 years with no issue. The ACAD version is 2005. Operating system is windows 7. Recently, on my attempts to plot, I get this message " an invalid hardcopy configuration" and I get no plot. What does that mean and how can I have the computer to plot again?

What printer ARE you using?
What are you printing and how are you specifying plot size?
AutoCAD currently allows specific plot configuration files (PCP or PC3, I can't remember exactly the file extension) and although I don't know if ACAD 2005 did this, it did have something equivalent even then. That file is very user-customizable. Enough that I often say "I'm no touching that".

BTW, do you have your inkjet sorted out yet? Have you tried a HP driver update? Thinking back a few years, I remember DOWNgrading a HP print driver from "version 6" to "version 5" and getting good results. Whether I did that for AutoCAD or for some other reason, I don't remember.

B.E.
You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.
