Hi Andy,
I'm sorry you had problems printing AutoCAD drawings from a Sun workstation.
To print, you should choose the File menu option Plot and select these
options:
1. For the Device, use "Athena Printer"
2. Check the box that says "Plot to File" even though you're
really going to plot to the printer
3. For the file name, enter "AUTOSPOOL"
This will send the drawing to the default cluster printer or to the
printer specified in you PRINTER environment variable. To be on the safe
side, you should set the PRINTER environment variable before starting
AutoCAD by typing the command
setenv PRINTER name-of-printer-here
at the athena% prompt.
Again, I'm sorry you had trouble and hope this helps.
