4. Verify that the list includes the printers and plotters that you want to have avail-
able in AutoCAD.
If they're not in the list, how you add one depends on your operating system:
• In Windows XP, choose Start⇒Printers and Faxes and click the Add a Printer
link under Printer Tasks on the left side of the window.
• In Windows Vista, choose Start⇒Control Panel⇒Hardware and Sound⇒Print-
ers⇒Add a Printer, and then click Add a Local Printer.
• In Windows 7, choose Start⇒Devices and Printers⇒Add a Printer, and then
click Add a Local Printer.
If your printer isn't in the default Windows list, cancel the wizard and hunt down a
driver disk that came with your printer, or better yet, download the current driver
from the printer manufacturer's Web site.
5. Choose the output device that you want to make the default for new drawings.
6. Click OK to close the dialog box and retain any changes that you made in the
previous step.
