hp 1050c plots in one direction only

[MarkLyon]

I have recently gotten an old plotter up and running again here. My problem is that it is only laying ink down in one direction as the carraige goes back and forth this is very SLOW!

I am on windows 7 and tried to download a new driver for this HP 1050c plus from HP but they do not have them for windows 7. I reloaded the driver for vista and have had no luck.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

I had a few customers that had trouble also when they upgraded to Win 7. Uninstall the HP drivers and use drivers from Windows. A few were able to do a windows update (printer drivers only) and had success.

I think I remember seeing this with XP - IIRC, there is a switch/setting in the firmware.
