[V8i] Bentley pdf print drivers aren't working

Yes I am, trying with Area set to View doesn't let me print either.

It's a 1:1 reference in to the model space of the drawing, and then that model space is referenced into the sheet at 1:100.

The drawing looks like a railway electrification plan (which I've worked with in the past). When those files were composed it was as you said, model attached to the design model of the drawing  @1:1 and then a saved view of that is reference to the sheet at the scale needed. What is noticeable to me is that your scale shows 1mm (paper) to 0.0060m (design); I'm almost certain that should read 1:1 because you are printing the paper @ 1:1, the reference attachment is already downscaled. I don't know if you are US or UK based, but is the ANSI A paper size correct? My gut-feeling is that it isnt; reason being is that when I used to print long layouts like that, it was on special paper sizes which started as standard papers sizes e.g. A1/A0 etc... and with variations which went up in increments of A4 widths e.g A1+1, A1+2 etc...

Of course your organisation may do things differently but just my observations from the image posted

I didn't realise that it made any difference which button I used, but even clicking the printer icon has the same effect, nothing happens.

It doesn't, its the same thing.

Is the lower left corner of you sheet file at 0,0 in the dgn file? I am not too familiar with setting up sheet files. The print dialog shows the Origin at 0,0. If the lower left corner of the sheet in the .dgn file then the plot driver ill not find any elements.

It would help to post your plot driver & a sample .dgn file. The .dgn file can just be the sheet file with some random elements within the border.
