Copying Plotter Configuration

I have recently made my plotter a network printer. Since multiple machines can now plot to this device, I ned to configure each computer's plotter configurations and pen settings individually.

Is there a way to copy one machine's settings, and apply it to others without having to do it all over again every time?

Thanks

You can leave the plotter configs on the network
and on each PC, in the Acad options dialog box, find the plot files section and
point them to the network location. All of the PC's will use the same config
(this may not work if the PC's have different OS's)

Just create a .pc3 file on your machine, then copy
it to the others. As long as the operating system is the same, you should have
no problems. You don't need to install the plotter drivers on the other
machines - the .pc3 file should be sufficient.
