Failed to create plot configuration for PDF995.

I think i found the solution for this error message (which affected other people as well https://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/25922/edit-plotter-configuration)

When trying to modify the parameters of the PDF995 PDF printer in BricsCAD, which would create a .PC3 file, i had the following error message : Failed to create plot configuration for PDF995.

I found nothing online about this.

I finally stumbled on the «Security» tab of the printer's properties window and found that the «Everyone» user group was not authorized to «Manage this printer». I simply authorized it and it worked right away in BricsCAD.
