Images and plotting to an HP650 ColorJet ( 36" roll feed) work fine in Photoshop 5.5.

On photoshop CS – the 36 inch wide plots are only PARTIAL PLOTS – a sub-strip of the image 12-20 inches wide plots along the entire width of the image. Two Gigs of Memory on a Win2000 machine – have used variable amounts of memory in CS prefs (from 400MB to 1.7GB) for Photoshop and still does not plot the full width of the image.

I was using the trial version of CS to test for bugs such as this, and will not upgrade if this CS bug is indeed present. The plotter driver to the HP650 works fine, complete plots from Photoshop5.5 – and from numerous other pieces of software.

The ‘input’ image has been varied – and failure occurs with ALL input images attempting to plot at 36" width out of CS. Plot lenghts are anywhere’s from 24" to 75".

This would occassionally happen in 5.5 – after several images/plots due to 5.5 memory management issues. Simple restart of program (Photoshop 5.5) always cleared the problem out.

Does anybody know if this is a bug in CS, a limitation in the ‘trial version’, or have any other suggestions.

Sounds like a problem in the driver (and most likely is memory related).
