How can I print directly to the printer using Bentley Printer drivers as HPGL2.PLTCFG or HPGLRTL.PLTCFG
Steps to ResolveThere are a few methods to do so:1) UNC Path.Use the unc path of the shared printer.In Print Dialog select Edit Printer Driver Configuration.Under tab Base Properties – Default Print File Name – File Name fill in printers UNC pathThe format of the UNC path is \\<printer server name>\<Printer share name>
2) Use LPR port.Before doing so: Make sure LPR Port Monitor is enabled.LPR can be enabled in Windows 7 under Control Panel – Programs and features – Windows Features.
In Print Dialog select Edit Printer Driver Configuration.Under tab Base Properties – Default Print File Name – File Name fill in printers TCP/IP Address.
The Print dialog sends the print directly to the printer rather than create a plot file.
