Network Printing

(OP)
I am trying to set up a .pc3 file on the network at my office so everyone will have access to it. I have changed the Printer Configuration Search Path, and the Pinter Description File Search Path to the appropriate locations on the network. I have associated the pc3 file with a pmp file that is also on the network. This setup will work fine for me, but as soon as someone else tries to use it they get an error message that says "unexpected null pointer". I understand that this means there is a problem with the pmp file. Does anyone know why the pmp file will work fine for me but not someone else?

Thanks.

RE: Network Printing

Just make sure that the pmp file from the pc3 is the being pointed to same place in the file. AutoCAD will default to its local drive to save the file (in DRV folder), so if you make changes to the file, it may point to your local path while they do not have the same pmp local. Also check file permissions, they sometimes cause issues.
