Our company is moving away from AutoCAD and opting to use DraftSIght 2017. There is a script file (*.scr) that ran fine in AutoCAD that one of my users is having trouble with in DS.
The script *will* run in DS but it gives an error when it comes to printing the drawings (as noted in section I marked with *** ****) and stops. It never prints out the sheets that are generated by the script. You can manually print the sheets but there are several scripts that have to run in succession so the flow stops once it reaches end of first script.
Suggestions? Ideas? What am I missing? I think this is a syntax issue but could use some guidance. Thanks everyone.
Cynthia

Cannot use None device for printing.
The printer name is noted in the script but for some reason it will not find the printer. The name is correct and nothing on the printer side has changed.
