I don't wish to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, but they are actually not identical. (I did read and re-read your post, which I thought was helpful, but just slightly inaccurate.)
Your commandline sequence indicates that the LISP command "HALF" is recognized and begins to run. The "unknown command" prompt only appears when "LANDSCAPE" is offered (within the script), as a response to the command prompt after the PLOT command has aborted. The reason for this is revealed when CMDECHO is turned on.
However, the OP's commandline sequence reveals that the LISP command "HALF" itself is not recognized ("unknown command") right from the get-go. (I don't know why this happened since I don't know what his LISP looked like at the time it was run.) The subsequent errors are for essentially the same reason as they are in your commandline.
"let's hope that the OP turms the cmdecho on"
I suspect the OP has taken matt.worland's solution and run with it.
dmfrazier,
my apologies, you're completely correct, only after post my msg, I saw that the echo was not identical...My bad

)kameron1967,
only for testing purposes, please run this quick and dirty test code
(defun c:test (/ ACLYT ACPLT)
(if
(member "PC3FILE.pc3"
(vl-directory-files
(vla-get-PrinterConfigPath
(vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
)
"*.pc3"
1
)
)
(progn
(setq aclyt (vla-get-ActiveLayout
(vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
)
)
(setq acplt (vla-get-ConfigName aclyt))
(vla-Put-ConfigName aclyt "PC3FILE.pc3")
(if
(member "18X24"
(vlax-safearray->list
(vlax-variant-value (vla-GetCanonicalMediaNames aclyt))
)
)
(prompt "\nPc3 and paper exist")
(prompt "\nPc3 exist and paper don't exist")
)
(vla-Put-ConfigName aclyt acplt)
)
(prompt "\nPc3 don't exist")
)
(princ)
)
and let us know what you receive at the commandline.

Nicely done. (Tha's what I's talkin' 'bout!)
Thank you dmfrazier!

To the OP: hmsilva's code assumes your LISP is specifying a PC3 file named "PC3FILE.pc3" and a page size named "18x24". Please be sure the code you load and run includes the PC3 file name and page size that is in your LISP, otherwise it will not tell you what we (you) need to know.

Hi kameron,
try the revised code...
(defun c:test (/ ACLYT ACPLT PAPER PAPERLST)
(if
(member "Oce TDS320.pc3"
(vl-directory-files
(vla-get-PrinterConfigPath
(vla-get-Files (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object)))
)
"*.pc3"
1
)
)
(progn
(setq aclyt (vla-get-ActiveLayout
(vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-acad-object))
)
)
(setq acplt (vla-get-ConfigName aclyt))
(vla-Put-ConfigName aclyt "Oce TDS320.pc3")
(setq paper (vlax-safearray->list (vlax-variant-value (vla-GetCanonicalMediaNames aclyt))))
(foreach x paper (setq paperlst (cons (vla-GetLocaleMediaName aclyt x) paperlst)))
(if
(member "Oce C+ 18x24 in (Landscape)" paperlst
)
(prompt "\nPc3 and paper exist")
(prompt "\nPc3 exist and paper don't exist")
)
(vla-Put-ConfigName aclyt acplt)
)
(prompt "\nPc3 don't exist")
)
(princ)
)

...can you test that routine and change the page setup to reflect your plotter information? I'd like to know if it will tell you whether both the plotter and page size is found. Thanks.
kameron,
it will tell that whether both the plotter and page size is found...
From message #33
"Oce C+ 18x24 in (Landscape)"
from message #36
"Oce C+ 18x24in (Landscape)"
the name is not the same, tou have a space between 24 and in...
the names must be the correct one...
