Sharing Plotter Custom Paper Sizes

We recently added a couple of more licenses for ACAD LT 2020. I had created a few custom paper sizes that I would like to share (rather than create from scratch) with the new users. Tried a few different ways, emailed to the user my PC3 and PMP files, copied, imported, but nothing seems to be working. Suggestions?

Thanks

If you placed the pc3 and pmp at the right locations (in the supportpath which is set in the options),

I have one question: Is it a HP Plotter?

Is the plotter driver installed on a server, or does everyone have their own driver installed on each PC?
And the plotter is...?

Each user has their own driver, its an Epson T3270.

You can't easily share PC3 files then if everyone has their own driver with their own versions, locations, etc. IF AND ONLY IF you already tried dropping the shares PC3 files in the correct folder that opens when you type PLOTTERMANAGER command at the commandline then hit <enter> (you may have to restart AutoCAD/LT for it to work).

Try the latter now.
