printer preset / default printer

Post by aquacg »

Hi, how can I change the default printer settings in Irricad? Every time I print a design, I get this message. This is an old printer I had connected 2 years ago and it is still the default printer. I can't seem to find where to set the default printer for irricad.

Thanks.

After I close the error message, the actual print dialog box opens with the correct printer selected. However there are 2 default presets: DEFAULT & IRRICAD_DEFAULT

I've tried deleting the IRRICAD_DEFAULT, but it re-creates itself each time.

Also, When I draw the plot template, this error message pops up.

Thanks.

Corby

Each design with a plot layout remembers which printer was used to help create the plot layout. If you re-create the plot layout (and save the design for the future) this message will no longer appear. If the old and new printers are very similar (paper sizes, margins) you could ignore the message.

The default printer settings are saved in the registry. To overwrite the default printer set up a plot layout dialog using the required printer and then click [Save as Defaults]. Close IRRICAD to complete the saving to the registry. Note that this will not solve the message you are seeing but will set the correct printer to be automatically selected for the the plot layout creation and print dialog.
