Have you tried RIPping the plots with PostScript Drivers, Image Alchemy, or
ArcPress, etc? RIPping converts a file (usually a postscript file) into an
RTL file which is the native format of HP Plotters. If you don't RIP a plot
first, the plotter has to do it. The plotter has to load the entire file
into RAM before it can RIP it. If the file is too large (exceeds available
RAM) it will give an out of memory error. RIPping is a good practice
anyways--plots start printing immediately after submitted, greatly reducing
total plot time. Try Image Alchemy PS, which has the RIPping software
'Image Printer'. You can get a 30 day demo from Handmade Software.
Hope this helps.
Cheers--Jon

Subject: MI HP DesignJet Plotters
I believe that this topic has been discussed in the past and I need to find
out if anyone has a solution. We have an HP 750C and are presently running
MapInfo 5.5. We are having a very difficult time printing maps. Our maps
are fairly detailed - they include a great deal of point, vector and label
data. The plotter always seems to choke on the size of the map. We have
tried the obvious fixes, EMF vs RAW Data, Plotter memory vs Computer swap
memory, all without luck. One of our sub-contractors, a survey company,
also running 5.5, can print the maps on their plotter without any
problem. We thought it was our plotter. We carried the plotter next door
to their office, connected to it and again they plotted without a
problem. The computers are identical make, model, HD, RAM, and
etc. - The main difference between their set -up and ours is that we are
networked (running Windows95 not WindowsNT) Any Ideas?
Any help will be appreciated.
