Cant print Landscape on HP DesignJet 130

[buzzsaw204]

i cant seem to figure out how to print to Landscape on my printer, in Mac OSX

 

i have a HP DesignJet 130, that can print 24"wide with the paper on the roll.

 

the setting i want is to print is 24 x 18", Landscape, which utilizes the 24" wide paper roll and would be cutting the sheet @ 18" long.

 

my Layout is set up 24x18 Landscape and i have my Print Setting to Lanscape

 

but when it prints, it keep printing Portrait, 18" wide and 24" long

Maybe Tech Support can offer some help to you, I have neither a Mac or that particular plotter, sorry you are having trouble.

can you print to PDF in landscape mode ?

 

if PDF works then it may be a problem with the printer ?

 

also you won't waste paper during testing of settings

 

tech support will be open on Tuesday 5 AM Pacific

I have found that it often works better to print to a PDF and then print from the PDF to the printer.

 

For me it was simpler to get the results I wanted - I guess the PDF printer feature works the same way as my mind - which some folks might find a bit scary.

CA printer set-up is only one of the two (or three) printer output settings. You also may need to set-up your printer in "Devices and printers" in Windows to match. If your PDF printer set-up doesn't match, it will have the same affect as your problem described.
