R6 Plotting to HP 500 Plotter

Having some serious problems plotting here. Plotter plots test pages ok and has latest HP drivers.
When plotting SKF files (@ 1 Mb in size), only first 60 Kb or so is sent to plotter. The entire process then hangs with no further data sent. I've tried USB and Serial connections so it's not the cables...only thing left is R6 perhaps....is there a fix? Is this problem occuring in R7 or R8? Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated!

 

Just sent a few SKFs to the HP500 using R 8 & R9 and experience no
problem...

I use R6 and HP500 without a problem.

Do you have the patch to version 6.01?

 

Hello
Are you running XP, if so you are probably running out of memory. If this
is the case choose the computer memory option from the plotter driver to see
if there is a difference.

If you would be so kind as to tell me how to change the memory options while printing it would be appreciated.

PS---yes, I have the R6.01 update and have tried plotting with Spooling On and Direct to Printer...same results

 

Plot files on XP are twice the size as with 98 and this can cause the
plotter to run out of memory.
