Printing with Creo 3.0 M070

Question

Hi all,Since I installed Creo 3.0 M070, every time I want to print a drawing, I have a new window appearing like the one below, asking me to print to a file. Once I clicked Ok, I retrieve the normal process for printing. Anyone could tell how to skip this step which is useless for me. By the way, what is the interest in printing to a file ?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi,Tom Uminn is right. Default list of printer configurations (files with .pcf extension) has been modified and the resulting state is confusing.I can see two problems:No.1: Three instances of MS_PRINT_MGR printer configurationNo.2: No option is selected in Destination section of Configuration d'imprimante dialog box on your picturesYou have to check .pcf files accessible by Creo 3.0 from three locations:No.1: Creo3_Common_Files	ext\plot_config directoryNo.2: directory set using plot_config_dir option in config.pro fileNo.3: startup or working directoryFYI http://help.ptc.com/creo_hc/creo30_pma_hc/usascii/index.html#page/pma/fundamentals/fund_two_sub/Plotter_Configuration_Fi… contains description of printer configuration files.MH
