Our department just switched from LanManager to Netware 3.11.  We have set
up a dedicated workstation as a print server, and connected a HP 7600 series
model 355 plotter to it (LPT1 parallel).  Users sending print jobs from
Autocad 11 are experiencing problems.  Parts of the drawing may be ommitted
or in the wrong place.  We set the Time Out option in the capture to 25
seconds and disabled the Autoendcap feature.  These changes didn't help. 
The plotting errors don't occur each time.  They may plot the same drawing
three times and get a good one on the third try.  Should we have a printer
definition for the plotter set up in the Printdef database?  We went with 
the defaults when setting up the plotter in Pconsole.  Any suggestions
would be much appreciated.
