Plotting Raster processing in version 9 Crashes

[Martin P]

HP1050c here, Revit 9.0 crashes the printer - PDF printing only option..............

[ford347]

I just quit plotting raster because it crased everytime. I was using the dwf export in 8.1. I had to keep everything vector and very few shaded/edges views. Autodesk told me that it was too much for the system.. basically used up too much system memory and it would continually do this.

Stupid Question, are you using the lastest Build of Revit? Build Number: 20060518_2300

using HP 1050c and an HP 1055CM here with no crash problems.

So there may be hope:

Scott...a couple of questions:
1. What build of revit 9 are you using and did you have probs with previous build?
2. Is 1050 connected to a print server, if so, what system software is it running (ie: MS Server 2003?)
3. What system software is on your PC's (XP?)
4. What drivers are you using for the 1050

Note this is only happening to me when I do 'raster' prints (ie: shaded views or even when I do a 'raster' print of a plan) - vector prints are fine

Note there is another thread covering the same problem...raster on 'low' seems to work, but, obviously quality is low!

1. What build of revit 9 are you using and did you have probs with previous build?
Latest build, no problems with earlier

2. Is 1050 connected to a print server, if so, what system software is it running (ie: MS Server 2003?)
Print Server, HP device (not sure what software)

3. What system software is on your PC's (XP?)
XP Pro SP2

4. What drivers are you using for the 1050

Thanks Scott, the only difference I can see is your "HP Device print server' - is this some sort of JetDirect device? Or is it a PC?

Also, are you a stand alone user?

Anyone found a fix for this?

I am having the same issue with the same printer. I am unable to print raster images as well. Instead of printing black, though, mine prints out a sheet of white, blank paper, after it desimates my print spooler. I have no idea what could be the problem, and it is happening to me on every project that we have in version 9. What a nightmare! Let me know if you have heard anything. Thanks.
