I have a user in our company that has Windows 2000 and Office 2000 on his machine. He is trying to print a slide from PowerPoint that is 30" wide by 80" long to a HP 750c plotter. When he specifies the page setup of the document, he is limited to 56" in length. Any ideas how I can fix that?

One thing you should you should check is the print limitations on the HP 750c plotter. I've run into machines that will only allow you to print up a maximum size. This may not be the case with the HP 750c but it may help you out.

Good Luck

Downloaded the manual for this plotter and it says nothing about limitations of documents - just width. I would think you should be able to print as big of a document as you wanted - as long as you have enough paper on the roll.

I also had the user try this scenario in other programs within the Office suite and the same thing happens. Could this be a Office 2000 thing or not? I've spent a ton of time looking through Technet and found nothing.

This might sound silly but what if you change the orientation?

Also, see if there is an updated driver for the plotter.

Also, try and see if you can print larger docs from another app (non-office) to verify if it is an Office problem.

Try saving the slide as an image and print it from an image editor?

Come to find out that there is a limitation to the page sizes on the HP plotter. I swear I looked all over the HP website to find it and didn't find it before and then the other day I found the limitations. Thanks for the information from everybody.
