Problem with Roland CAMM-1 CX-24

**BrianTwigley** · 03-25-2006, 05:38 AM

I have a CAMM-1 CX-24 Plotter, but I cant get it to print. I have tried it on a laptop, and it works perfectly, but I t wont print on my Desktop PC. When I try to print using the PC, I just get a load of scratches, but on the laptop i get what i want. The settings on the laptop and the PC are exactly the same, but with the laptop, I used the istallation disk, which I cannot find. On the PC I used the Driver from Roland's website. The windows troubleshooter is no use, so can anyone help???
Both Computers are using Windows XP

I just copied the folder 'spool' which contained the drivers to the PC

This is an older topic, but I have landed here from the searchengine, and I suppose that I'm not the only one...

From my personal experience, there is one more problem that might cause similar behaviour of Roland... If you have bad cable-separator for two printers (switch for A or B printer), that might also cause similar error.

And I have one Roland problem as well... Has anybody ever used Roland CX24 on Linux and where can Linux driver can be found?

You can cheat by covering the light sensor at the front with a bit of tape, it's just in front of the strip on the left and looks like a couple of clear led's very close together in a hole

Hello there :)

I got a Roland Cutter Camm 1 CX-24, and i got mac with MACOS X with the virtual machine ( Windows XP installed )

My questions are:

1- Can i work with MACOS X ?

2- Is there any USB cable to work with the cutter?

I'm having a problem because i bought a new computer and i can't work with the cutter.

I'll wait foward for an answer.

Many Thanks
