We have a problem with our HP 7600 240E which has been driving us and our HP te tech crazy. We have multiple SPARCs plotting to this plotter and whenever more te than one plot gets sent to the queue, the second plot get a small line on it which is always the exact same length and location. We have replaced the hard disk in the plotter but the problem remains. We use the plotter in the 7586 Emulation mode and it is hooked up to a parallel port on a SPARC. Any help w would be greatly appreciated. John Lehotsky Taylor & Associates Architects (714) 955-1377

John, Have you tried the driver for the 7600? There are in-line and ADI versions shipped with R11. If you are at R10 (your message doesn't say) there are ADI 4.0 versions of the same driver available. The 7586 driver is HPGL while the in-line and ADI drivers both are HP-GL/2 and should provide significant performance increases. BTW, are you using Autospool? Mark <hope this helps> Sage
