PDF not printing to Plotter

[Simon.Poulter]

Recently I have been having a problem printing PDF documents through the Acrobat Reader DC (64 bit) to my HP Plotter.

I have printed many PDF files on this printer in the past but all of a sudden it wont send the files to the plotter. It previews the file fine, however when selecting the print size it wont change from 8.5 x 11inch, whether I select a different or custom paper size.

I have checked and updated all programs, software and drivers and this has made no change. The files will print to other printers fine, just wont send the file to print with the plotter. When trying to print from browser, the print preview wont even come up (see attached photo).

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. As described you are unable to print from the HP Plotter and tried most of the troubleshooting steps with no luck.

Please go through the correct answer marked in the similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/adobe-reader-hp-plotter-issue/m-p/12400501 and see if that works for you.

Hi Amal, thanks for getting back to me.

I have followed the link and tried the fixes with no avail, below is a description of what is happening.

1. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2021.011.20039 installed, no updates available.
2. No PDF's print to the plotter, there is no error message it just doesn't send to the printer.
3. Other applications such as AutoCAD print to the plotter fine
4. Printer dirvers are up to date.
5. Print as image, copy, download, save as, or recreate all don't work either.
6. The same PDF files will print fine to a smaller printer.

I still haven't found a fix for tis yet, if there is anything else you could suggest.

Thanks

Simon
