Printer Default Problem 1

[FlamingCarrot44]

Every time I set the pen settings (line weights or pen weights call them what you will) in autodesk architectural v. 3.3 they work once and then return to the default pen settings. Also my company has more than one printer and every time I set a default printer, print my drawing, and try to print again my default printer has defaulted back to "none". Also when I select a paper size for the printer, the next time I print (be it the next day or the next minute) the paper size has defaulted back to letter. I really need help with this. I need to know how to save my printer settings. If anyone out there can help I would be very greatfull. Thank You.

OK!!! In reverse order! to set your paper to default...go to the system printers in Windows (on the server or machine where the printer is installed, or where the JetDirect Card/Box is installed) and right click on your printer, then go to Document Defaults, change it from Letter to A4 or what ever. Next, for the default printer, go to the system printers of YOUR machine, ie, Start->Settings->Control Panel, and right click on the printer that you will be printing from most or want as default, then you will see an option to 'Set as Default' As ADT 3 uses the system printers/drivers so setting these cauese ACAD to read them like they are set.....and finally for the Pen Settings, create a new colour table and save it as your.ctb or what ever, and when it askes you.....'Set this table for all prints' select yes (or OK I cant remember which) and it will be the default pen settings............
all good I hope! Jay~
