Incorrect default plotter configuration in AutoCAD LT for Mac

[wklemp]

Whenever I attempt to print, I get the warning message below referring to a printer that I do not have.  I presume it's an AutoCAD default setting, but I cannot find any place allowing me to change this default.  It eventually prints, since as the warning message says, it then substitutes my Mac's default printer, but this is really annoying.  Is there any way to change the AutoCAD setting.

There is no "default setting" in AutoCAd for printer/plotter selections: the file creator gets to decide what printer is used in each tab in each file and that setting pretty much sticks to the file until someone else changes it.

MAC or Windows, it's been the rule for a very long time. if the MAC has an extra option to avoid it, only MAC users in the MAC forum can help you out. That's MAC forum is here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-for-Mac/bd-p/520

Thanks.  I created the file and never addressed such a printer, so it had to have gotten there somehow.  Also, I used the print settings edit function to change the printer and it won't seem to stick.  I'll check it out on the Mac forum.  Thanks so much for the rapid response!
