    Hello,



    I have a problem with some PCs that have ADT2004 loaded. Originally the
    plotter setups were coming from the network. I prefer to have the PC3 files
    saved locally so users can make changes to their particular setups. So i
    went into the options and changed the two locations "PrinterDescDir" and
    "PrinterConfigDir" to the local drive. However now the ADT does not show any
    of the system printers. I realize I can create PC3s for each system printer.
    i see this as unnecessary effort (39 PCs) because a default install of the
    ADT has all the system printers available (not PC3s).



    Can anyone offer any advice?



    Thanks,

    i kept looking and found the problem in case anyone else is having the same
    issue.

    in the profile there is a reg keyword that needs to be changed. under

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.0\ACAD-204:409\Profiles\RRM
    M Standard\General]

    add this key "HideSystemPrinters"=dword:00000000.
    "HideSystemPrinters"=dword:00000001 is on so it hides the system printers.
