    I have a bunch of PC3's for WinXP computers. I recently got some new WinXP computers which I installed the same print driver attached to same queue. Some of the PC3's work, and some do not? Any ideas?


    Thanks, Tom

    Well, I may have found something? I created PC3 files from three slightly different WinXP computers (same windows driver). If I double-click on them, the "System Driver" matches, but the "Windows Driver Files" do not! Is this my problem, if so, is there a way to make these drivers match?

    Thanks again, Tom

  3. Recreate them is your best bet. They hardcode everything in those files
    even down to the location of the AutoCAD heidi driver files. How they can't
    find those on their own I will never know. So basically they can be
    dependant on.
    1.) Location of Windows itself
    2.) Location of the driver files for you plotter.
    3.) Operating System.
    4.) Version of AutoCAD.
    5.) Product of AutoCAD.
    6.) Location of AutoCAD's driver files.
