This started happening randomly a few months ago. I do not know when my boss upgraded her system to 2007, so I don't know if the problem coincided with any software updates that she performed. I can tell you for a fact that I have not changed anything because my boss is the CADD manager, so she makes the decisions on what to install. There are only 2 CAD users in my building/network: my boss and me. I have never set up a color profile, so I will ask her to see if she did.
1. Print heads: we have changed out everything. We have cleaned the print heads as well with the little cleaning kit that came with it.
2. Color calibration: Yep, we run a color calibration each time we change media.
3. Driver vs Plotter: We use software to send each plot job. I will ask my boss if she can set the driver to allow the plotter to determine colors and see if that helps. We've gotten all the stuff possible from the HP wubsite, and ain't nothin' helpin'.
4. Other programs: My boss has had the same green cast in everything sent to the HP800PS in all programs...CAD, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, everything. That makes me wonder if the problem isn't with the plotter determining the colors. I will ask her to switch it so that the software determines the colors.
I just downloaded a bunch of **** from the Autodesk site and have put it on a jump drive for my boss to look over so she can decide what she wants to install. I got the service packs for 2007, plus the
AutoCAD 2000 Plotting Update Patch.
P.S. Great avatar, I'm a huge fan of the lolkittehz on

EDIT: Whoa, there's a filter for the word "****"?
