I cant plot from AutoCad 2006, using My hp
Hi, We have five desktops running windows XP, as well as two Desktops running vista. and I have 2 printers ( HP Designjet 500 + HP Deskjet 1280) conected to win XP desktops.
I am running AutoCAD 2006 and when connecting to the HP Designjet 500 & HP Deskjet 1280 from the two desktop which are running Vista, they don’t appear anywhere in the plot screen and I can’t print, even though i can print using other softwears like MS office or coreldraw.
Both printers are shared correctly (Windows XP + Vista compatable). All the XP computers work fine running the same program and will print instantly. Also when printing to a shared HP Laserjet 1010, there is significant connection lag,
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out,,,
Thanks for any help you might be able to give!

Hmmm.. we only have two computers at my work connected to a router. the designjet has a network card going straight to it. i connect to the router wireless and it reads vista. my boss connects to the design jet thru the router as well with a network card rj cable with xp pro. as for our printer it can be connected via router and does work fine but my boss has it directely connected to his computer and i share it off of his system. then we also have a zerox machine connected via router as well. maybe your router is going out? try a new one or a better one and see if that fixes it. it maybe defected or time for a new one.......
if it was working before then maybe its the router.
