JGajentan Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I just upgraded to LT 2011 and my IT guy here deleted my default printer pc3. I don't want to have to select what printer I want to use for printing each and every time I print... How do I add that back in the printer list?

ReMark Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Did he just change a setting (selected a different printer as the default) or did he delete the printer entirely? Windows > Start > Printer and Faxes. Right-click on the printer and chose Set as default printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 He deleted it... Why? I have no clue.. Then you will have to go to Printer and Faxes and reinstall the printer. During the procedure you will have the opportunity to set it as your default printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to shy away from PC3's so don't no much about 'em... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGajentan Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah Tiger, the .pc3 is from within AutoCAD. Hit Ctrl+P in AutoCAD to bring up your print menu and you'll see "Default Windows Printer." ...I won't... It's a .pc3 file that was removed that I can't figure out how to add back in. I make .pc3's when I calibrate my printer to ensure size accuracy (I use printouts to ensure accuracy of our CNC's). Nothing to be too scared of there. In a nutshell - you can make copies of your existing printers with different plot settings and rename them as you choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 You can add it the way you add any .pc3, File, Plotter manager, Wizard, system printer, ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGajentan Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 ...rkent.. dude...
