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, its 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.

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!

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!
