---------------
Printer Profiles are user dependent files that are stored locally on the user's
computer, need to make them available for ALL users.
Solution
First set up and test the printer profiles for an individual user, e.g.
"A3_Color_ActSize" and "A4_Mono_Fit".
These profiles are now saved in "C:\Temp\print_submit\<nodename>\userprofiles"
Now go into your Printer Group directory, which contains the definitions for
your plotters. Make a backup copy of defaultprofiles. Then edit
defaultprofiles, and read in your saved userprofiles file. Copy the profiles
for each printer to follow directly after the <System Profile> line for that
particular printer. Delete the text "Basic Plotting System~0~" from the user
profiles that you are putting into the system profiles. You should be able to
tell that the new profiles match the <System Profile> for the plotter. Save
this file, and all users should now be able to access the multiple system
profiles per user.

Tip : If you have similar printers, you can copy the Printer Profiles lines
below the <System Profile> line of another printer as well, don't
forget to change the printer name in these lines to match the other
printer.
