Printing Raster images

#1
Has anyone had any success here??

I have a number of drawings with TIF files attached, when printed the CAD file prints fine with a large black box where the TIF file should be??

The tif files print fine individually using paint shop pro 8, also windows imaging.
Need help, new contract requires this functionality.

I had this problem some time ago, I think I fixed it in the printer driver settings. Try to update the driver and/or look for a setting related to processing raster information.

Sorry, should have said

The file(s) print fine to my epson 1270, the problem is when I print to PDF995, this is a print driver that creates pdf files. I have updated drivers, their tech' support have tried numerous adjustments..... all to no avail.

I can print this config of dwg/tif thro a colleges copy of Autocad to PDF995 with NO problems. If it were only a couple of drawings then I would follow this route, but the contract is for 100+ drawings (the actual no. of drawings could end up at over 500 if I can meet the deadline)

I find this rather odd. I just tried printing a drawing containing a TIFF to PDF995. Came out just fine. What is the version number of your ICAD?

Icad ver 4PE, downloaded the latest up-date but not yet installed. Running on win98 256k ram

Tried different TIF formats, group 3 & group 4 fax. The tech support at PDF995 have tried a number of different drivers but with no success. If I save as Autocad R14, and open in R14 I can print the same dwg/tif files to PDF995 perfectly, simillarly with Microstation SE. It's only Icad that drops the ball!!!!

avaernes,
Thanx for the alternative, I tried 3 or 4 others over the weekend which all failed I'll try this one later this week....away for a couple of days.

I am using the latest upgrade. That may be it. I have never tried printing to PDF with a TIFF with prior versions so I couldn't say for sure.
