Plot Sizes

[captainbunsaver]

Hi all,

A hugely prosperous and fun new year to all! (those smart enough to use Revit)

Because of client's $$, I was held back to 6.1 until recently. I now have the latest build of Revit. Boy, have I got some catching up to do!

When I go to print on my HP500, I don't have options for paper size as before, the best I can use is "Ansi D", which is cropping my titleblock.
Yes, I did a search, and came up empty-handed.

What am I doing wrong?

I think the paper sizes available when printing depends on the loaded plot driver, does it not? I don't think Revit has anything to do with sheet sizes available on a given printer.

Captain B,

Go to Control Panel and click "Printers and Faxes". When the printers dialog appears, right click
your 500 icon, and select properties. Go to the Paper Standards tab, and pick what you need.
It will be there in your Revit print dialog on your restart.

See the picture.

Happy printing!

Paper sizes are dictated by the windows driver. To make additional paper sizes available follow the following steps.

1 Go To windows Start Bar
2 Printers Faxes
3 Right Click on your HP 500 and Click Properties
4 on the advanced tab click the printing defaults button
5 next to the application page size click "more sizes"
6 Click the check box next to architectural (this will load all standard architectural sheet sizes for your applications.

Thanks to all for your help. Nothing like a simple issue to keep me humble.
