When you go into the Plot dialog, Under Printer/plotter there is a drop down between Name: and the Properties button.
On my machine there are all sorts of printer names there. I'd love to prune this list down to the only 2 printers that I actually print to.
Is this possible? Can some explain?
Is there a location where that list is pulling from? Could someone kindly point me to it?

I have found some default printers here:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2009\R17.2\enu\Plotters

ie: WF6 ePlot.pc3 | Default Windows System Printer.pc3

But not the ones I want to delete...

Help Please!!!

Options, Files, Printer support file path, finally Printer Configuration Search Path

Also you might go to Options, Plot and Publish, check Hide System printers.
