Plotting errors

[ChrisR]

Hi

We have a user with Project 98 (Installed on a Windows 2000 laptop) and a Network Plotter installed via TCP/IP, he's been having intermittent problems plotting some of his project files (and getting pretty irate on the phone to boot!) the plotter driver has been set to plot directly as well as to have the file spool locally, both still give him the same error - basically the plotter will show the plot being recieved and then stop, or the plot will get partway through and stop, sometimes it'll work!

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be fixed/improved? Use a server queue maybe? I seem to recall somewhere a problem with Project 98 and Plotting but I can't find anything now I look into it.

Chris,
I recall having some printing problems with MSP 98 that were corrected
by a patch. Try
