How to print horizontally on a HP Designjet 500 42 using Ado

How to print horizontally on a HP Designjet 500 42 using Ado

Postby allanmcllin on Tue Sep 11, 2007 6:35 am

At work we have purchased a HP Designjet 500 42 poster printer. In Adobe Illustrator CS2, I am trying to print out a large web design company logo. The problem is; Illustrator is constantly forcing the printer to print the image out in the wrong orientation.

The logo is 20" wide, and 6" tall. Our printer uses a 42" roll. Illustrator keeping printing the image out such that the image is only using 6" of the total 42" width, and printing out 20" in length. Thus, wasting a lot of paper.

Is there any proper setup I am overlooking? I have tried every combination that comes to mind. Portrait vs landscape, rotate 90 degrees, entering custom paper sizes... Nothing comes out in a horizontal manor.

I will also mention that this has not been a constant issue in Adobe PS CS2. However my technique for that program, does not work for Illustrator.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what's going on there. You could always try exporting it as a PDF, and printing it from Adobe Reader. Or try printing it from a page layout program (Quark, InDesign)
