But if you don’t set docPrint as the default printer,in the first step, you should open the dwg file in AutoCAD and click “File”—“Plot” to run the printer driver in your computer. In popup “Plot- Model” dialog box, you can choose “docPrint” in “Name” combo box of the “Printer/Plotter” group box and click “OK” button. Please see Figure1.
Or you can right click the dwg file and choose “Print” option to run docPrint instead of opening the dwg file, which will skip the “Plot-Model” dialog box.
