Lowell, Just tried out your ADIPLT driver with AutoCAD…and am very interested in such a program. Although, I'm experiencing a problem using it while plotting to a LJIII connected to a file server. Problem is that an extra form feed is sent to the Laserjet after the print job is ejected, thus wasting a clean sheet of paper. Do you have any suggestion on how to fix this minor problem? Does your driver send form feeds? If so, is it possible to modify ADIPLT.COM to keep from sending form feeds? I have it configured as ADIPLT /L3 in my autoexec.bat file. The network redirects anything going to LPT3 and sends it to the laserjet. (The print job plus an extra sheet ejects…) If I plot to a file called LPT3, I must always answer (Y) at the prompt "Plot to a file?"…and it appears that I must type in LPT3 as the name of the file. Is there a way to default to a plot file name like in AutoCAD? My network software is 3COM 3+Open…Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks. Tom J.
