plotter and plot style location by lisp?

[George Drayton]

Does anyone know how to find the path to plotters and plot styles (esp in A2004) with lisp -allowing for the possibility that they might not be in the default location?

Plotter configs =
(vla-get-PrinterConfigPath (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))

Plot Styles =
(vla-get-PrinterStyleSheetPath (vla-get-files (vla-get-preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))))

Thanks very much - my first expereince of VLA stuff

Of course if you don't like the newer, simpler, more user friendly, etc. VLA* stuff; you could always try (case specific):
(getenv "PrinterConfigDir") for the plotter directory, and (getenv "PrinterStyleSheetDir") for the Plotstyles directory, and as an added bonus, (getenv "PrinterDescDir") for the hdi drivers and pmp files location.
