I recently added a HP K8600 11x17 printer to my system, whichis running Solidworks 64-bit 2008, in a standalone environment.
The problem I'm running into is that Solidworks invariably crashesif I try to print to this printer when it has been in "standby"mode. Sometimes I get a message upon crashing, sometimes SW justplain disappears.
If I turn the printer off and back on again, or print from someother program (or test page), I appear to have no trouble.
I've had this happen in 32 bit XP as well as my current XP 64, andI've tried the full blown drivers as well as the stripped downdrivers for this printer, with the same effect.
Anyone else had similar issues? I also have a Brother laser hookedup and have no issues with it. Both are attached via USB.
I know I could probably solve my problem by hooking these up to anetwork print server or an old PC to act as one (which I suppose Iwill do if I cannot solve this) but Solidworks is the only programthat does this, so I figured I'd ask before resorting to the moredifficult solution.
