The Print dialog lets you work with two types of printers: those controlled via the Windows system and those controlled via a Bentley driver. Typically, in the Print dialog, when you choose:

• Windows driver — you have access to the functionality of the Windows printer driver to print directly to the system printer device, a print server (ProjectWise InterPlot Server), create an Enhanced Windows metafile, or save the print to disk for later submission to the printer.
• Bentley driver — you can save the print to disk for later submission to a printer.

Print Organizer lets you work with the same printer driver configuration files as the Print dialog. In Print Organizer, when you choose:

• Bentley Windows printer driver — you have access to the functionality of the Windows printer driver to print directly to the system printer device, a print server (ProjectWise InterPlot Server), create an Enhanced Windows metafile, or save the print to disk for later submission to the printer.
• Bentley driver — you can save the print to disk for later submission to a printer.

Each printer driver has a printer driver configuration file. The product delivers default .pltcfg printer driver configuration files into the ..\<product_name>\Default\Pltcfg directory. Existing .plt files are still supported, but they are no longer delivered.

Where necessary, you can edit a printer driver configuration file by choosing File > Edit Printer Driver Configuration from the Print dialog, or by choosing File > Printer Setup from Print Organizer and selecting the Edit icon, which opens an editor with the printer driver configuration file loaded.
