RyanAtNelco Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hello, I am gettting and Acad warning every time I plot. It seems like it's looking for some default printer that does not exist, then substitutes "none". Does anyone know how to get rid of this warning or change the default printer to "none" in 2011? Im using windows 7. Screenshot of the warning is attached. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 You set the default printer in TOOLS > OPTIONS > PLOT AND PUBLISH > USE AS DEFAULT OUTPUT DEVICE. Set this to the printer that you normally use. Note- you will also get this message when you plot a drawing that was last plotted by someone else with a printer that you do not have access to.

RyanAtNelco Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I changed this, and i am still getting the same error message... anyone have any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 See the note in my previous post. Also make sure that you have "save changes to layout" checked in you plot dialogue or any changes you make will be discarded as soon as you hit the OK button.

RyanAtNelco Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 These are all drawings that only I have edited and created from scratch. The checkbox is set, and i get a similar warning message about a different printer when i try to print in model space. My IT guy has had a look and is just as puzzled as i am. A system printer is set as my default, and the check box for "Hide System Printers" is UNchecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 OK, if you go back to the error message it suggests that the problem could be that the driver cannot be found or may be corrupt. Can you use this printer from other programmes? Is the driver pathname in you AutoCAD options set to the right directory? I would try reinstalling and/or updating the printer driver.
