I am running an HP 750c with very few
problems with Mapinfo 7.0. We print maps with orthophotos/usgs topo raster
bases almost exclusively. There were some memory issues with larger maps, but
we found a workaround. In the print-options for the 750c, there is a setting
in which you can process in the printer or the computer. The driver will
suggest using the computer-processing “only for out of memory problems”, but our
experience (at least with the 750c) suggests otherwise. When we let the
printer handle the processing, prints for a 36x50 map would take about 30
minutes to begin printing; a computer-processed print begins printing in about
5 minutes. All in all, it’s been a great printer with
no mechanical problems that has been serving us well for the last 5 years, and
we bought the unit used! The plotter is connected via TCP/IP, and we use our Dell
server to act as the print server. _______________________________ Anthony Hicke, PG, CHG Project Groundwater Geologist Richard C. Slade & Associates LLC 818.506.0418 707.963.3914 818.506.1343 Fax PLEASE NOTE: The information in this email is privileged,

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Reid I'm running an HP 1050c with no problems other than
that mentioned by someone else, the "transparent" "effect"
of hatching. Although, I have found that even though the "hatched"
region styles we are allowed to use all appear to be similar, there's some that
print totally different than what you might expect. The only other problem we've had was printing with a
digital ortho, or USGS raster as a basemap. Other than that, everything else is smooth. I have printed both via parrellel port, and via
network. Printing across the network works beautifly, plus, I can move the darn
thing out from behind my desk. I hope to soon be going with a wifi printer
server... I hate cords and cables! David -----Original Message----- Hello All, Not wishing to come across to negatively but this is
a pre-emptive email!!. We have just taken delivery of a HP Design Jet 800
plotter which I am planning to connect to our print server on Monday and I am
expecting problems! Has anyone got any experience of getting these
printers to “talk” to MapInfo (we have version 8.0) any experience or warnings
would be gratefully received. Cheers, John BTW: Thanks to everyone who helped out with the stylistic tool on
my last query worked great! -- -- |
