The printing issue is a pretty big one. It is much, much improved over 2011 (with the addition of Batch Publish) but we still desperately need a way to save drawings with a common page setup across multiple machines (Macs and PCs). The only way I can see doing this effectively is to provide the DWG to PDF driver as a selectable option in the Page Setup dialog (which currently is not possible, though curiously this is what is shown in the Batch Publish dialog). This has been an issue for our company as we work from multiple offices, have many types of printers, and are split Mac and PC. We essentially have to generate multiple Page Setups - one for each employee's particular setup in order to plot properly (or at all for that matter).
One potential workaround, would be to have all employees install drivers for a generic plotter on all machines (both Mac and PC) so that the Page Setup references a device that all machines would recognize, regardless of whether or not that plotter is actually connected or even located at that office or employee's location. Of course it is still an issue when going to plot or PDF, but it would cut down on the errors.
One other option, is to use CUPS-PDF across all systems. (http://www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/) This would not be quite as elegant as an Autodesk-provided or sanctioned solution though.
I'm not sure I did a great job explaining that, so if someone else could provide clarification, and/or another proposed solution or workaround, it would be greatly appreciated. And if anyone from Autodesk would care to comment, that would be great too!
