I finally got the plot to work by printing to file on my own machine (much faster than the machine hooked up to the plotter), with the "Use memory in (...)

| Hey Bram, Sorry I didn't get into this thread before. What print driver are you using? Are you trying to spool the whole image over first, or printing while the file sends? Also, what program are you using to print from, and can you export to other (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) From some test prints, I saw that the DPI isn't going to matter very much, so I went with 250 DPI to save some rendering time. However, it's taking almost as long to print as it did to render. The image is about 200 MB (uncompressed), but the (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Also depends on how quick/abrupt your color changes are, (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| Tim, I think it would be a Good Thing to make this a news item on the ldraw.org homepage. And then park it permanently on ldraw.org somewhere (like in an ldraw.org FAQ). It won't help people at the time they're having the problem, but they'll be (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| Several people have in the last year reported problems with getting access to www.ldraw.org. The reason for this problem appears to be that the default "time-to-live" (TTL) for TCP packets is too low. I have now recieved confirmation that this is (...)

You can change the threshold too but 0.3(default) is good. Check your Docs for more info. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
