Printing - Override Issue

Question

Version v8i SS4 
 OK, this will be a fun one to tackle :) 
 Basically, the client wants to display the background topographic as fine dotted-black lines, the linetype remains the same. 
 When using a combination of pltcfg and pen (design script) files, it used to work but now not sure what happened, the lines somehow got override to be printed as a continuous lines rather than the native linetype. For example, a striping line is plotted as a continuous line rather than a typical striping-dash line. 
 Question is, can someone help to tweak the pltcfg or pen files parameters for the output to be correct? I suspect these 2 files could be the problem or may be something else like configuration files may be. 
 See attached picture and printing files for reference 
 A - correct output

B - incorrect output 
 
 Attached pltcfg and pen file. Pen file is attached as design script.

I opened your pentable as a pentable thru the my printer.plcfg file dialog and saw that you only selected dimensions instead of lines so I selected thru the tool all lines and linestrings and set the search levle level to the one you wanted for the existing roadway and changed output to colour 245 (grey) and linestyle 1 . 
 I suggest you edit my pentable attached through print dialog and select all line types and set the weight too. 
 I suggest you dont save it as .pen but tbl as its a penttable and set your printer to find it with pathing. using it in the printer dialog is easier to edit than a text file and you can see all the types you ask by type not number ie lines not dims.. I think the type 33 dims was a typo and maybe 3 instead but I would select them in the tool by type instead to be sure.. here is the basic version I modified with half tones and lines and level selected to out put right.. Worked for me .. with your dgn..
