I'm trying to find a driver for my new (to me) Graphtec CE2000 to run from my windows 7 64 bit computer.

I've tried downloading the drivers from the Graphtec site, but when I go to install, the CE2000 isn't on the drop down list of plotter choices in the setup.

Is anyone still running one of these with a newer computer?

Hi Bobby

Yes, I'm referring to the driver. It's listed under the CE2000, but when I install that driver, I'm not presented with that cutter as an option.

Try installing it, you'll see what I mean.

I really thought there would still be quite a few folks still using this plotter, and even with a newer operating system.

Thanks for your suggestion

Phillip

Thanks Bobby

I ended up emailing support and they sent me a different driver. We'll see what happens. :)

Ok, here's an update:


I've installed the Graphtec Driver for Windows 7 64, but I'm not able to get the computer to recognize the device. I'm using a parrallel to USP cord.

Honestly, I'm not even sure what port I need to use in the printer settings, LPT port or USB? I tried both, with LPT the printer at least showed up under my devices menu, but I got an error when I tried to send something to print.

Should I install a parallel port card? Or has anyone had success with this setup? I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting somewhere.

try installing a port card ...if I had my choice I would go with a serial port card over an lpt port card.....make sure you use a null modem serial cable(rs-232 compliant) the card can be bought usually for under $20 for most desktops,... the cable should be about the same if not slightly more..a small price to pay for hassle free operations,k,...
