My GSP Supersprint plotter won't initialize. The cooling fan starts but nothing else works. The plots are created on an attached computer.

when installing a network card i am getting this error cod 04c00 00002a0a

Hi, thanks for your answer. The plotter is connected via parrallel by a very long cable (33 feet) so I think that's my problem.
Since then, by the way, I didn't had the problem anymore and the plotter works perfect. If the problem starts again, I will use a much shorter cable.

Thanks again

Friends,

You doesn't say what application and OS versions you have, or if the printer is shared from a server or connected locally to a workstation. This is signifcant to solve the problem. Please clarify.

To make this work properly, all machines should have the HPGL driver and all drivers should have both the "Autorotate" "Inked Area" boxes ticked - both under General > Printing Preferences > Advanced AND under Advanced > Printing Defaults > Advanced.

Then you should create a paper size that is as wide as the media is wide, and longer than the longest/widest paper size you're ever going to print (6-10 feet long is OK!) - BOTH under Printing Preferences AND under Printing Defaults. This will ensure that every "odd" paper size (within media width limits) is printed without problems.

If the printer is installed on a server and shared, these settings should be done on the server - and the driver should be reinstalled on the workstations. If not, these chanvges should be done on each workstation that has access to the printer over the network.

When using older versions of AutoCAD you might have to reinstall the printer there as well for the changes to take effect.

Note: This solution has worked successfully over several years while working at HP support. The suggestion about the looong paper size may sound strange but it works!

I have a HP 650C, I just bought a Parallel to USB adapter on Ebay. It can plug straight into a computer and then be shared. I also have network card on a HP 750C+ and have it connected straight to my router through an Ethernet connection and it works fine.

09Bxxx is an internal error. Probably a bad Hard Drive or Main PCA board. Hopefully it's that Hard Drive because the main PCA board is EXPENSIVE.

Try replacing the Hard Drive, check to see if that fixes your problem. If not, then try replacing the Main PCA.

Sorry, and Good Luck
