Plotting problems

(OP)
Hi all,
   We have a new plotter HP DesignJet 800PS.  It's working fine with other software but with Pro/E we have some problem's with the amount of paper we are using.  It's seem like the printer always use a 54ยจ long piece of paper, even if we send a D format.  He roll's down the paper and then start to print with the format we asked.  We also have a hard time with the offset and the rotate. We have tried to change the driver and it did not change a thing.
    
   If someone can help me, it would be realy helpful.

thank's
NrM

RE: Plotting problems

Hello NrM - Just to add to your post.  We have a HP DesignJet 500 with Pro/E 2001 and have the very same problems.  The plotter wastes an extremely large amount of paper to the point where I'm plotting D-Size 1/2 scale and just using B-size paper.  But the problem with that is scale, even though I have it set 1:1 it's not plotting to scale.

We purchased "Universal Document Converter" for a print driver. Could not get prints to work in 2001 with our two printers.

Printing works fine with the old printer/drivers in Wildfire.
