I would like to find out which driver to use and how to install the driver to allow hard copy rendering to a HP dj650c. When I access the driver window there are none to choose from I suspect it is an AutoCAD .exp driver but I don't know which one, and does it have to be specified in the 3ds.set file. Thanks for your help Bill C.

Bill, Most people just save their rendered image to a file (TGA, GIF, Whatever) and then use a Windows package or some other paint and graphics package to print. Also there is a program called Renderprint which has drivers for Hard copy output right from 3DS. 800-825-4115. -b

Thanks for your quick response I will call them. However in the manual 3ds talks abuot rhppj.exp I would like to see if one of the hp .exp file has the same capability. Thanks for your time Bill C.

Um, I'm guessing, but if there is one it will probably be listed as HP/GL2 – 7600 series (or 7500 series). Or, it might not be there at all, and I'm just blabbing away pointlessly. Hmmm.

William, Thomas was right in saying that the 7600 color should work great for the 650c. I have done lots of prints from 3DS using the windows drivers that ship with the printer also. I mostly print from Corel Draw and the output is awesome. You could also print from just about any other Windows package that supports large format paper, like Micrografx Publisher or Photoshop. ANyway, just some thoughts. Good luck – you'll love the 650C. Dave Mennenoh
