Hello,
tried to use ColorWave 300 Windows driver connected with slightly modified printer.pltcfg - configured to always create a plot file. In general, works good, but sometimes it generates 0 kB file and immediately plots 1 copy directly onto machine. The printing result is OK, as expected.
No general rules connected with file was observed, but it happens only with some raster files (not all rasters, only from time to time -can't discover any specific attributes connected with that particular rasters). Our raster are small (b&w tiff's). "Rasterized" check-box does not have any influence on that behaviour.
Any ideas for that?
All the best, Wojtek
Does this appear to happen with the same raster attachments? When this happens can you "Print to file" to another print queue and see if you can reproduce it?
We have observed it on two raster attachments so far. I will try to reproduce it on another computer tommorow. What do you mean "print to another print queue"?
Have the Print dialog set to another print queue and then select "Print to file". One suggestion would be to recreate the print queue and make sure you use the latest driver for the ColorWave 300. After your testing if it appears to only happen with the two raster attachments try detaching and re-attaching them.
1. Situation occurs with many rasters, not only that two, but also not with every raster (example of problematic ones in attachment)
2. I can't find any connections between problematic rasters, in general we use just b&w tiff's, some of them are georeferenced, some of them not.
3. On the same dgn with that problematic raster attachments, I am able to create plt file well using HP 90r windows driver and the same printer.pltcfg
4. Re-attaching rasters as well as attaching it to a clean dgn file does not help.
5. Oce Colorwave 300 Windows driver is in the latest version (2.9)
Regards, Wojtek
Thanks for the raster file you have send.
It appears this has to do with the Oce Printer driver.
I was able to reproduce attaching both file to a new DGN file.
The output file is a zero byte file, when the OCE Preview does show the raster file.

We've tried to roll back to driver WPD1 ver. 1.22 (latest revision of Series 1 drivers) and, with resolution set to 300dpi, everything seems to work OK.
