Unable to remove plotters from Plot Device listings

[support.70467]

Hello all:

Can someome please tell me how to remove plotters from the Plot Device listings when you go to plot a document? Currently, I have multiple copies of my plotters appearing in the Plot Device listing, but they don't appear as multiple copies in my Printers folder (Start/Printers & Faxes).

In the options dialog box under the "Plot and Publish" tab, you can click "Hide System Printers". This will hide all printer and all you see is the PC3 files.

Hi

In addition to Glenn's suggestion, check the following location within AutoCAD (as from the images you've attached it looks like there is multiple .PC3 Plot Configuration files) -

Options -> Files Tab -> Printer Support File Path -> Printer Configuration Search Path

The above will point to a directory file location, check this location for multiple copies of .PC3 files (Remove as necessary)

+

If there are any sub directories under the above location check them also for multiple copies of .PC3 files (AutoCAD searches sub directories and display's any .PC3 files it finds).

Have a good one, Mike
