Product: HP DesignJet T2530
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

We bought an HP DesignJet T2530 a year ago and I still hate it, worst plotter I ever used.

 

I am still trying to figure out how to print the date on the drawings AND have the first page on top when they are finished printing. As soon as I turn on the date stamp, the last page is printed last, not first. The setting to print first page last is ignored when the date stamp is turned on. WHY????

 

It still randomly drops the network connection and needs to be restarted so that it will reconnect to the network. HP tech told the vendor to change a sleep setting on the NIC card and the problem would be fixed. It did not fix the problem and now the vendor refuses to look at it unless we pay for a service call. This issue has been ongoing since it was new, HP is aware that this is an issue on some NIC cards, and NOW I have to pay to have it fixed??

 

Regardless of what settings we use, the plotter insists on switching to the other roll of paper, which is the wrong size, when it runs out of paper in the middle of a print job. Why won't it just stop printing and wait for the roll to be replaced? The only way to get around this is to unload the roll that you do not want it to use, total waste of time because HP can't get the machine to do what we need. It would work great if both rolls were the same size paper.
