The Options of AutoCAD 2010 – The Files Tab – Part 5

Print File, Spooler and Prolog Section Names

Plot File Name For Legacy Plotting Scripts
Specifies a default name for the temporary plot files used with plotting scripts created with AutoCAD Release 14 or earlier. The default name is the drawing name plus the .plt file extension. The default name used with AutoCAD 2000 and later drawings is the drawing name-layout name plus the .plt file name extension. Some plotting device drivers, however, use a different plot file extension. This option only affects the default plot file name used for plotting scripts created with earlier versions of AutoCAD.

Print Spool Executable
Specifies the application to use for print spooling. You can enter the executable file name as well as any command line arguments you want to use. For example, you can enter myspool.bat %s to spool plot files to myspool.bat and have a unique plot file name automatically generated.  This will run when the print spoler starts.

PostScript Prolog Section Name
Present for legacy reasons only. Autodesk has dropped active support of PostScript and the PSIN, PSOUT, and PSPROLOG commands.  If you have some really old files that still  need to output Post Script – this might help.

You most likely will  never need to set any of these or even think about them.
