My company just got an Oce TDS 700. I have been trying to create a plot driver for it. I have been unsuccessful so far. The only way I can get it to print from Microstation is to use the printer.plt driver to call the windows driver. It is very cumbersome. Does anyone out there have a 700 that they have a driver for.
I have tried a driver from one of our other offices that has an Oce TDS 600. They have no problems sending prints directly to the 600. When I try to use the driver Microstation says it is an invalid driver and will not load it.
In this thread, How to print using HPGL2 plotdriver?, I posted a copy of my KIP6000.pltcfg file which is a modified copy of pdf.pltcfg that copies the output directly to the shared KIP 6000 printer.This allows us to use pdf.pltcfg to create pdf archive files which look exactly the same as prints sent directly to the printer. You can edit any pltcfg file (search help - Printer Driver Configuration dialog) you can define pre and post exicute commands (search help - Define pre-print and post-print program commands). The xml code I shared is part of our kip6000.plt6cfg file which is an example of how to copy the file $(MS_PLTOUT) to the printer \\kipstf\KIP6000. If your Océ TDS 700 can support postscript printing this should work for you also.
