    Default Plotter Question

    Hi! I have an older plotter (HP DesignJet 430) that I am trying to get hooked up to my new PC. My new computer is running Windows 8.1 (64 bit) and I am using Revit Architecture 2013 to produce drawings / models. I have a USB connection between the PC and plotter (converter from old parallel port (printer port) to USB).

    Did anyone get a similar configuration to work? I did have this plotter working with Windows 7 on my old PC...


    Thanks!

    Rob

    I cant remember for sure (it was a few years ago when I set it up), but I may have used the drivers for a DesignJet 500 or 650... The plotter worked fine for me with Win. 7, a little slow but very good quality prints.. Good luck.

    Any other ideas for how to get the HP 430 Design Jet to work with the Windows 8.1 OS / Revit?

    Thanks!
