Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I’ve had a problem, with logic, not showing up when I’ve plotted my P3 schedules. All this started when my company made the switch to Windows XP. Ever since the switch, I am not able to get the complet logic to print on my plots. I have installed all the service packs and updated the driver on our HP plotter. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem with XP. I had no problems when running P3 (version 3.1) on Windows 98.

I experienced the same problem before and what i did was, at print setup, reduce the resolution of output setting.. say from 1200 dpi to 600 dpi. And it does solved the problem. There, you will see your missing logic now.

Try sending one page at a time to the plotter.

This sounds like a ’time-out’ problem. Typically, the relationship lines are the last items to be plotted. It looks like either the file has hit its size limit or the communications channel was shut down before the transmission ended. Either way, you are looking at a plot that did not complete to the end. Ah, for the good old days of serial plotting in HP language. It kind of brings a tear to my eyes.
