December 29, 1993 I am a new user to 3D Studio R3 and I am in need of advice concerning output of my renderings to a printer. I create my renderings on my home computer and generate output files to disk and take them in to the office. At work I have a H-P Paintjet XL300 and Designjet 650C available to me. They are connected to a Novell network via an Intel Netport. Neither plotter is equipped with H-P's postscript options. My 3D Studio is configured for the Paintjet XL300. No matter what type of file (i.e. GIF, TGA, TIF, etc.) I generate, the Paintjet either outputs page after page of text, or has the busy light glow solid and no output, or just no activity period. I have used Novell's CAPTURE command to redirect the LPT1 & LPT2 ports respectively for the Paintjet and the Designjet. I have tried the DOS PRINT command and DOS COPY to the LPT port command; I have yet to try Novell's NPRINT command. The redirection of the ports with the CAPTURE command works perfectly with our AutoCAD R12 operation for plotting. Also, can renderings be sent to the Designjet 650C? Any help that you can provide will be most appreciated. Thanks, MATTHEW J. NICHOLAS 71533,2244
