Can a printer driver for HPlaserjet IIP be found so one can render hardcopy from #DS rev2 to this printer? I am just starting so please be specific. Thanks

Phil: Most people print their images out of Windows using a variety of paint packages. I don't know of anyone who prints directly out of 3DS. The HPPERIPH forum has the most up to date drivers for all of their printers. -Bob Ritger

Philip, You left three of these messages on the board last night. Since two were essentially duplicates of this one, I've removed those.

RHPADI drivers (ADI drivers for printers) might have been written and provided by the company that makes the printer. Autodesk does not normally write ADI drivers. If the manufacturer has not written one, most likely it is not available. There are two ways most people print images. First, save to a .TGA file, and then load the TGA file into a paint program, windows program, or something else and print from there. Or there is a software package called RenderPrint from Insight technologies that allows you to print from 3DS to a number of printers. They can be reached at 800-825-4115. -b
