I just checked and there were some mistakes in the code before. The one above should work as long as you make sure you are typing in the requirments for your system. CTB, PC3, PAPER SIZE..ect.
SCRIPTS are very touchy, Each and every space in the code acts like an Enter key stroke. Make sure that when you copy and paste it to you ouw text file (which should be saved as .SCR) that there are no spaces after any on the commands. If there is just get rid of it. Blank lines in the code is ok casue they are suppose to be there.
You dont use APPLOAD either. Use the command SCR I am not sure if they are some but SCR is what I use. I tested this so it does work. I am using 2004.
Command: (command "-PLOT" "Y" "Layout1" PRINTER PAPSZ "Millimeters" "Landscape"
(_> "N" "Window" PT1 PT2 "1=1" "0,0" "Y" "Standard.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N"
(_> "N" "Y" "N")
I dont know what this ^ is. Did you set up a button to run the SCR file? if so it should be more like this:
^C^Cscr;"G:/CHI-CUSTOMCAD/SCRIPTS/plot.scr"
Thats a simple version but it works.
Also use the SCR file in Layout space not model space. I left a blank space in the code at the part where it asks what to print (layout name). This way it uses what ever layout tab is current. I only use 1 tab per drawing cause they are aggrivating to deal with. I also make sure everytime I save the drawing before exiting I am in layout space. I dont put LAYOUT1 in the balnk space becasue sometimes people like to change it and it screws up the SCR file. But as long as it is in that space it will print it.
Enter an output device name or [?] <\\PLOT1\Oce 9400>:
Make sure you are using a PC3 file and not the normal printer. ACAD uses PC3 files all it is a file that holds information it pertaining to that printer its not a big deal.
Plus you can have multiple PC3 files for the same printer with differant settings.

You are getting all this becasue the command before this didnt complete correctly. So according to the post your output device is wrong. Wich leads me to believe that you need to setup a PC3 file to use. Try it out.
SCR files help out alot with this stuff. The batch plot utility sucks dont even try it you will give yourself an anurizim. Download the SCRIPTPRO utility from AUTODESK it works great with SCR files.
Let me know, how it works. Oh ya sorry I didnt get back to you yesterday got busy at work and never checked again.
