Myles5,
Thank you for your replies, but I am way way past the basics of how to set up a printer and how to print a document/graphic.

I am right now, using the Regmon and filemon programs to see if I can see where this process is getting hung up.

I know the plotter works, it works on another system, and it worked once on this system. My problem is finding out what little switch got tripped and loused this up.

I have alot of work arounds I can come up with:
Junk the plotter
Reinstall windows me
Go back a month and restore
Install program which will be using the plotter and connect plotter on another system
Buy and install "winline drivers" (cost$200) (but if there is a problem with the windows print program I don't think winline drivers would work either)
Give up (that will never happen!)

What I want to do is find out what is causing this problem. Besides this is an excellent way to learn the ins and outs of the programs. I am learning ALOT with all my detective work into this print problem.........(am even fixing some other little annoyances I have had but not urgent enough to tackle)
I am not able to get to work with my Patternmaster Boutique program but that will come after I get this problem fixed.
