    I had a button to plot 11 x 17, I lost it during a computer upgrade.

    I want to use a macro to plot using my configuration (not
    customers),( -plot; ect..) the drawing comes from a customer with a plotter
    configuration that I don't have. How do I get my macro to add the plotter
    config that I what?

    my macro:

    -plot;yes;\\server-1HP5S1;letter;I;L;N;E;F;C;Y;MONOCHROME.CTB;Y;Y;Y;N;N;N;Y;
    ;

    I get stopped at \\server-1HP5S1 I can't get this to plug into the command.
    When it stops I can type it in and it will finish, but it won't run in the
    macro.

    Thanks. :)

    a space in a macro is an enter.
    do not use spaces in your servername or printername, and try to keep them shorter than 8 characters and all in UPPERCASE.
    \\SERVER\HP750C should work.

    I think you need another return after the first yes. also not sure if
    your "device name" will work as "\" also means pause for user input
