&lt;p&gt;Select Printer.pltcfg from the &amp;quot;Select Printer Driver Configuration File&amp;quot; icon.&amp;nbsp; Then use the &amp;quot;Select Windows Printer&amp;quot; from the File menu to choose and configure the printer of your choice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5924/SelectWindowsPrinter.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5924/SelectWindowsPrinter.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;---&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &amp;quot;Part II&amp;quot; of this issue is that before using the &lt;strong&gt;Map Finishing Print&lt;/strong&gt; dialog, you must first&amp;nbsp;set the CS_PLTFILES variable so that the temporary .ps file can be written to disc in the specified folder (the software then prints from this file).&amp;nbsp; You should also un-check the &lt;strong&gt;Print to File&lt;/strong&gt; box, then select the desired &lt;strong&gt;Printer&lt;/strong&gt; from the list.&amp;nbsp; This printer must be capable of printing &lt;a href="https://www.adobe.com/print/features/psvspdf/" target="_blank"&gt;Postscript&lt;/a&gt; files.&lt;/p&gt;
