Serious printing Problem Visio2003 and HP Designjets 100/120

Would not print to HP Design Jet 100/120, both USB
attached, on 2 different W2K (SP3) computers. Monitoring
printers shows a file spooled, but it disappears from the
queue in about 1second and nothing get printed.

Both PCs and Printers are fully functional otherwise,
including printing from Visio2000 and other MSFT products,
including Office.

It is driving me nuts, as I have to save Drawings as .tif
and then print from a lowly image viewing program !

An interesting twist: on one PC (with DJ 100) I CAN
print from Visio2003 ONLY in "DRAFT" mode ... needless
to say it doesn't cut it.

More on the issue:

It seems to happen only with larger page sizes:

D (22"x34") doesn't print.

Smaller size: 11x17 is OK

I tried both fairly complex and simple diagrams.
