Can't print or plot to an OCE TDS450 in AC11 using Leopard

Using a new Mac pro (intel) with Leopard on it. Trying to Plot / Print to the OCE TDS450 gets the error message on the OCE "Please Load Paper into Roll D". Doesn't matter which paper size or driver I select. Downloaded the newest driver from Oce and every other App will print to the OCE except Archicad. Has the same problem when printing to a Win XP shared OCE Driver on a Dell that's on the network. Thanks in advance.

If "every other app" prints to your OCE. Archicad will too if you use the Print command with the exact same settings. If you output that way, you're using the OS system routines. That's recommended.

What could happen is that you have some weird paper size set in your ARchicad document. What you describe points to that. Try to Print something while making sure Page Setup in your Archicad document is set to a standard paper size (A or A4) exactly like your "every other app". (If you're Publishing, the paper size is set in the Master layout.)

If you Plot, you're using Archicad's output option for legacy pen plotters. Nowadays all plotters are raster devices. Use Print instead. No need for anything else.
