Layout Page Size

 I've finished a simple drawing so I decided to go into layout mode and make myself a little 8x10 printout and I noticed I can't get into the page setup. I go File -> Page Setup and it brings me straight to the drawings explorer and a message shows up in the console that says "No printers present in system". If I click on "Edit page setup" in the drawing explorer it gives me the same message. Any suggestions? I have no printers installed on this particular system but I figured I could at least print to file.

    I had this problem once and fixed it by setting up a printer. I guess Bricscad needs to be able to access a printer in order to know things like available paper sizes. I think it would be best if they had a pdf printer built in, but they don't. Maybe you'd like to add a pdf printer through cups. It would solve the problem, I think. Google "cups pdf" or see if your linux distribution has it installing it automated.
