In my office we use some macro's to (batch)plot drawings with different propperties (size, orientation). When I try to use this macro's I get the following error: "The specified printer does not exist or has been removed". Can someone tell me what's I do wrong or what's the error about. Thanks in advance.

We use OSD 11.65 on Windows 2000 platforms and the printers are network printers.

Below is one of the macro's we use:

DEFINE A4

PLOTTER_TYPE ADD MSWINDOW_GDI_PRINTER PRT_DRIVER '\\OFFICE-SERVER\Oce3133-40PCL' 'PCL'

PLOTTER_TYPE 'PCL'

PLOT_CENTER ON
WIN_PRT_MGR PAPER 'A4' ORIENTATION PORTRAIT COPIES 1 END
PLOT_SCALE AUTO

PLOT 0,0 0 all BW_IMG NORM_VIDEO

END_DEFINE

I use this macro :

DEFINE plot_a4

PLOTTER_TYPE 'HP LaserJet 5000'
Set_sys_plot_source ALL
Destination_print_mgr
Print_mgr_option_off
WIN_PRT_MGR PAPER 'A4' ORIENTATION PORTRAIT COPIES 1 END
PLOT_SCALE AUTO
Plot_start
Print_mgr_option_on {Show print manager dialog to configure plotter for each plot}
END_DEFINE

Thank you Andrea.
This macro works for me:

DEFINE A4

PLOTTER_TYPE '\\OFFICE-SERVER\Oce3133-40PCL'
Set_sys_plot_source ALL
Destination_print_mgr
REQUEST_PRINT_SETUP OFF
WIN_PRT_MGR PAPER 'A4' ORIENTATION PORTRAIT COPIES 1 END
PLOT_SCALE AUTO
Plot_start
REQUEST_PRINT_SETUP ON {Show print manager dialog to configure plotter for each plot}
END_DEFINE


Appreciated!
