Hello,

I'm looking for information about the ability to print from Creo 5.0 to HP DesignJet T120 plotter.

Thanks for sending any piece of applicable information.

@MartinHanak,

It looks like it supports PCL and HPGL.  As long as you are going through the Windows Printer Manager in Creo it should work fine.  You might also be able to send directly from Creo to the printer (without going through the Windows printer system) if you use HPGL but doing this will probably require you to select one of the other HPGL printers listed in Creo.

Hi,

according to https://store.hp.com/wcsstore/hpusstore/pdf/cq891a.pdf datasheet T120 recognizes HP PCL 3 GUI, JPEG languages, only ... no HPGL support available 😞

Print via Microsoft Printer Manager works strangely ... eg. HP software is not able to recognize size of plotted drawing.

Because you only responded, it looks like the T120 is not used for printing from Creo.

On the downloads page for this printer there is a universal HPGL print driver listed.  Might be worth trying.

Does it detect the page size properly if printing from Adobe Acrobat?  In some of our environments we route Creo printing through Ghostscript and then that feeds the actual printer.
