I have a lot of drawings that utilise quite a number of layouts that have initialy been set up using a printer attached to my computer. I have to share the drawings with another user on another computer who has a different printer. I have found the default Windows printer option available will work on both computers, however I cant seem to find a way to re allocate all my file layout sheets to accept the, now preffered, windows default printer option without going to each layout individually.
Does anyone know how I can do a multiple change printer for all my layouts in my existing drawing files. I believe all the new drawings I will make will be OK.
