    Problem Description

    When I plot to our HP Designjet 500 Plus plotter the colors that are Red or Green on the display plot Yellow.  We are using the Bentley HPGL2.PLTCFG Printer Driver Configuration file. We are not using a pen table and we are not using any pen mappings.  BTW, this used to work.

    Reason

    Issue caused by a configuration setting at the plotter

    Steps to Resolve

    At the front panel of the plotter set the Pen settings->Palette to Software instead of Factory or Palette A/B
