Thanks all who responded. It proved that the problem is in DPI.
Unfortunately, the HP DesignJet 500PS driver doesn't allow to set DPI
manually, it only has 3 quality levels: fast (draft), normal (final) and
best (enhanced). In my case, setting only the draft option allows to
print, which is not satisfactory for quality reasons.

hi jaromir
see below (maling list in feb 24), this explains your problem:
Thanks to Dawn Woodruff, Simon Roy, Jay Russell, Cinda Graubard, Wai
Chan, Brian Cowper, and Ian Erickson for all your help and suggestions.
Most of you stated that my problem lay with the limitations of the dpi
when printing from MapInfo. This is what Jay Russell wrote:
"There is a limitation of DPI when printing from MapInfo. To get the
maximum DPI setting you can use with Adobe, divide the longest side
into 28000. I believe this would leave you with a maximum of 600DPI or
just a little less. This setting can be adjusted in the "Advanced"
button area of the printer driver."
Simon Roy wrote something similar:
"The MapInfo Layout cannot be larger than 28 000 pixels.
The default resolution for the standard settings in Acrobat 6 is 1200
dpi.
The ANSI E paper size is 34 x 44 inches.
If you are using the Acrobat standard settings with ANSI E paper size,
you are asking MapInfo to print a layout of 40 800 x 52 800 pixels.
By lowering the resolution in the Acrobat settings, you will be able to
print larger documents.
The ANSI E paper size will print with Acrobat set to 600 dpi."
It was so simple. So what I did was:
1) In Layout view, I went into "Page Setup"
2) I clicked on "printer" in the page setup dialog box to choose "Adobe
PDF"
3) I clicked on "properties" for the Adobe PDF printer
4) I clicked on the "Layout" tab and clicked on the "Advanced..."
button.
5) In the Advanced... dialog box, under "Graphic," I changed the "Print
Quality" to 600 dpi.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi all,
My problem is simple, and I hope the answer is simple:
I have an ANSI E sized layout that I want to print to pdf, but it won't
print larger than a letter sized paper, even if there are options to
have the paper size up to ANSI E. I notice that the layout paper on my
screen is grey (which to me, means that it's not a printable area). In
fact the whole page of ANSI E is grey. But I print anyway, and I get a
blank ANSI E pdf document.
What settings do I look at to fix this? I looked at Adobe, and I looked
at MapInfo and I can't figure it out. I went to Adobe help, Adobe
online help, MapInfo tech online ... but I found nothing to help me.
My workaround was to save window as a bmp file and then saving the bmp
as a pdf. I would like to avoid this. I was fine printing to large
sized pdfs when I was on Mapinfo 7.5, Win 2000, and regular Adobe PDF
writer (ver 5, I think).
Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
