Another what we used was a pop menu select correct button for printing, used a lisp so would ignore page setup and plot correctly, even down to looking at user name and send to correct printer as worked at multiple story building.

Plenty of examples out there plotting with lisp

An example just the plot bit out of a bigger code.

(COMMAND "-PLOT"  "Y"  "" "Print As PDF"
	       "A3" "m" "LANDSCAPE"  "N"   "W"  "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=2"  "C"
	       "y" "Default.ctb" "Y"	"n" "n" "n" pdfName "N" "y"
    )
