This is probably the oddest error I have ever come across. We are currently testing x64 machines. We are running AutoCAD Architecture 2009, Revit Structure 2009 Suite and Inventor.
For some reason, when we are plotting to our HP9040, AutoCAD bombs with no error message, no warning, or anything. It just shuts down. Now this is only happening on 11x17 size prints. I can print to letter or legal without issues. I have tested printing to 11x17 with other software with no problems.
We are using the local drivers on the machine and not a pc3 file due to the fact that we have 6 of these printers throughout our office.
