Hi Harry, Thanks for some good ideas. Unfortunately, everything looks good in setup printer properties. One outline or rectange dip body did print but it is a component that I designed and I cannot find any different settings for it as opposed to the other standard stuff.
I just don't know. Dwight Harm suggested using notepad to send a text file to the plotter. I did. It will send it (winxp says) but nothing happens other than the plotter awakening. Tomorrow, I am going to send it another notepad text file and wait for a good amount of time just in case it is using an abacus to compute the coordinates.
