    I get the following error when trying to print via the PUBLISH command.

    ---------------------------------------------
    Category name:
    Page setup: 30x42
    Device name:
    Plot file path:
    Paper size:

    ERROR: The current device does not support the requested media size
    -----------------------------------------------
    However, I can print the layout manually just fine.

    I also notice that it seems to forget what printer I am sending to. (Device
    name is blank in error report)
    My page setup DOES have the printer assigned, and I am selecting it in the
    PUBLISH manager.

    My theory so far is the Publish command is not finding the exact printer
    name. In the bottom right of the Publish Manager it lists the "Plot Device".
    Is that the PC3, or the windows printer name?

    I figured it out. I was referencing an old page setup; one that I had
    created in a previous version of ADT.
    It was being brought in when a new sheet set was started referencing the
    "Existing Drawings" option.

    So when plotting old drawings (ADT3.3) via Publish, I need to Import the
    updated page setup from my new (ADT5) template.
