I use Mapinfo v6.5 and v8.0 with a HP Design Jet 800 plotter. And I have only had the normal transparency problems that other people have reported. But you can get around them via printing to PDF and then Printing the PDF to the plotter.  Other then that it works a dream.

 

Although apparently It has been a nightmare for out design team trying to print using Autocad 2006.

 

Like people have suggested. Use the latest drivers from HP. Not the ones that come on the CD when installing to your print server.

 

I have never experience any out of memory errors on it. However I hardly ever print raster.

 

Hope this helps ease your “pre-emptive pain”.

 

-Regards

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!
