WHEN PRINTING, LEVEL 2 POSTSCRIPT PRINT METHOD MAY NEED TO BE SELECTED FROM OPTIONS IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX. There also have been problems when printing to large format plotters from Windows if the host machine prints using another networked computer as a spooler. The large maps usually fail to print. This problem has been solved by creating a port that accesses the plotter over a network directly without using an intermediate computer.
