Introduction
HP ePrint & Share Plug-in for AutoCAD is an extension (plug-in) for AutoCAD developed by HP to
facilitate the printing process from AutoCAD.
This plug-in enables you to quickly generate a print-ready document (in PDF format) of the current layout
by using a customer-defined preset, or one of the existing page setups defined in the drawing. Once
the PDF file is generated, HP ePrint & Share is launched and the PDF file is loaded for quick preview,
printing or sharing.
An advantage of the plug-in is that it creates a PDF file containing your chosen print settings, so that
anyone with whom you share the file can easily print it with the same settings. Other methods of
creating a PDF file do not normally include the print settings.
AutoCAD plug-in description
The plug-in enables you to print the current layout quickly:
●By using a preset that you have defined
●By using an AutoCAD Page Setup
A preset is a set of print settings that determine how the current layout should be printed. Presets are
managed by the plug-in, which provides a dialog box to select the print setting values that are applied
when the preset is used for printing. To print with a preset, the plug-in also provides some menus, and a
command-line command.
●If the Adobe PDF driver that is shipped with Acrobat Professional is installed, the plug-in uses it to
create PDF files.
In this case, you may find that Adobe Reader is launched automatically to display each PDF file. If
you want to prevent this, go to the Plot dialog, select the Adobe PDF.pc3 printer, press the
Properties button, select Custom Properties in the settings tree, press the Custom
Properties button and uncheck the View Adobe PDF results checkbox.
●If there is no Adobe PDF driver, the plug-in for AutoCAD 2007 to 2009 creates PLT files instead of
PDF files; the plug-in for later versions of AutoCAD uses the DWG to PDF driver to create PDF files.
If Acrobat Professional is installed in the PC, but the Adobe PDF.pc3 printer is not shown (only Adobe
PDF is available), then run the configuration by using this printer, and at the end, when AutoCAD asks
to save the configuration, select the option to save the changes to the suggested file.

							Print with presets
A preset includes only the scale to apply to the drawing (including whether lines weights have to be
adjusted as well), and which CTB/STB has to be used. Hence, presets use very few of the available
AutoCAD print settings. The intent is that the print settings used by the plug-in are the most common
ones. For printing scenarios involving more advanced print settings, the AutoCAD plot dialog should be
used.
To compute the size of the printout at printing time, the plug-in starts from the layout size, then applies
the scale selected in the preset. If the scale reduces the drawing, the paper size is reduced as well. If
scale magnifies the drawing, only the drawing is scaled—the paper size is left as it was defined in the
layout. Please note that the scaling factor is applied on top of the one selected on the layout definition
done through the Page Setup Manager.
Print with page setups
The plug-in can also print by using page setups available in the drawing currently loaded.
User interface
The plug-in user interface depends on the version of AutoCAD being used. When the plug-in is loaded,
some menu entries are added, and the commands HPIPPS, HPIPPRESET and HPIPCONFIG are added to
the list of AutoCAD commands.
The plug-in also provides a dialog box to create and manage presets:
This dialog box can be invoked through the plug-in menus or the HPIPCONFIG command.
The following sections explain the user interface available depending on the AutoCAD version.
AutoCAD 2010
The plug-in can be invoked by right-clicking any part of the working space, and then selecting the HP
ePrint & Share menu entry. Note that this menu is shown only if the right-click action has not been
redefined—to repeat the last command, for example.

							The menu shown is divided into three areas:
●The top area shows the presets currently available. These presets are always available, regardless
of the drawing currently loaded.
●The middle area shows the page setups available in the current drawing.
●The bottom area shows plug-in configuration tasks. Currently, it just shows a menu entry to launch
the user interface to manage presets.
HP ePrint & Share is also available through the menu bar:

							AutoCAD 2007, 2008, 2009
User interface for these versions of AutoCAD is similar to the one for AutoCAD 2010:
●Commands HPIPPRESET, HPIPPS and HPIPCONFIG are available.
●Context menu entry when right-clicking is available.
●Menu entry in Menu Bar > File is available.
Plug-in requirements
The plug-in prints from Paper Space only. Model Space printing is not supported, as the Autodesk
recommendation is to use the Paper Space instead. The Model Space does not support batch file
printing.
After a drawing is printed from the plug-in, the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool opens.
If you are not currently logged into HP ePrint & Share, a message box tells you that you are not
currently logged in, and asks you to log in and retry. A dialog box is also displayed, in which you can
log in.

							Print using the Printing Tool
You can choose to print your drawing by pressing the PRINT button in the HP ePrint & Share Printing
Tool. You can change the print settings (size, rotation, quality, paper size) before printing.
If you want to store the drawing as a PDF file on your computer, check the Save locally to box at the
bottom left and select a destination folder before pressing the PRINT button.
If you want to store the drawing in your Library as well as printing it, check the Store and print box
at the bottom right and select an event name before pressing the PRINT button.
In the latter case, the Printing Tool uploads the Printed event to your HP ePrint & Share Library. If you
now log into your Library, you can see the recently uploaded event there.

							Your new event is displayed in the EVENTS column, with the event details in the DETAILS column. You
can download each of the documents individually by selecting the document and pressing the
Download button.
You can also download and print the whole event using the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool by pressing
the Print button. For details of how to print, see 
The HP ePrint & Share Library on page 24.
Depending on your operating system and system security settings, you may see a dialog box warning
that a program on your computer wants to open Web content. Please select Allow to open the
downloaded event using the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool.
After the event is downloaded, the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool opens.
Share using the Printing Tool
If you want to share a drawing with your colleagues, go to the SHARE tab in the HP ePrint & Share
Printing Tool.
In the SHARE tab, you can enter the subject of the message, the addresses and a description of the
Share event.
After you have pressed the SHARE button, the main dialog box updates the completed marks for the
shared files.

							4 Print from MS Office applications
Introduction
HP ePrint & Share Plug-in for Microsoft Office 2007 is an extension (plug-in) for some applications in
the Office 2007 suite (currently Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word) developed by HP to facilitate
the printing process from Microsoft Office applications.
This plug-in enables you to quickly generate a print-ready document (in PDF format) of the current
document. Once the PDF file is generated, HP ePrint & Share is launched and the PDF file is loaded for
quick preview, print or share to HP ePrint & Share.
The Microsoft Outlook plug-in behaves slightly differently: it allows you to send any document attached
to your email messages to the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool directly.
User interface
In most Microsoft Office applications, select the HP ePrint & Share tab; select your printer; select
Current Page or All Pages; click Preview and print; and the document you selected appears in
the main window of the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool.
In Microsoft Outlook, right-click a message attachment, and select HP ePrint & Share from the
popup menu.
NOTE:You can select your printer from the drop-down list only if you have installed the printer driver.
TIP:If you want to discover a printer on your network, you can select any printer from the drop-down
list, then click Preview and print to launch the Printing Tool, which enables you to search for
networked printers.

Introduction
The HP Designjet Go Web printer driver allows you to print from any Windows application even when
no HP ePrint & Share plug-in is available for that application.
HP Designjet Go Web
From any Windows application, select File > Print and choose the HP Designjet Go Web printer from
the printer selection dialog box:
You may select the print settings (page size, orientation) as for any HP printer.
There are other applications that offer you a slightly different user experience in order to select the
destination printer. For example, the Picture Editor that comes with Windows Vista allows you to
choose the printer directly from the main screen.
Once you press the Print button, as when printing from AutoCAD or from MS Office applications, the
document appears in the main window of the HP ePrint & Share Printing Tool.
