I did not get any "out of memory" errors. It doesn't seem to be a printer driver issue either since it prints fine on everything except really long sheets and I tried printing the same long sheet to a different plotter using a different driver and it did the same thing. I believe it is a memory issue since I was able to print four 36"x54" sheets correctly. I guess the 512 RAM I have is only good enough to do around 36"x60" plots, maybe, but you don't know what that limit is until it doesn't work.
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. -Bob "Spencer Simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >The most likely reason is that your plotter does not have enough memory to >hold the entire printout at once. > >1.
