how to add a printer to the plotter list?

Hello, I'm a student running AC 8.1 student version on Mac OS X 10.3.5 and I'm trained in AutoCAD. I have a book called the ArchiCAD 8 Training Guide, but I can't find any information on how to add a printer to the plotter list. Since I'm a student and a home user I don't have a professional plotter. I have an Epson inkjet model 1280. I'm use to AutoCAD and used this printer to print half-sheet 11x17 just fine, but need help getting this printer added to my plotter list in AC 8.1. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

In AC there is an option for plotting and an option for printing. Just use the print command since AC will use the printers in OS X with all their options, you don't have to create a plotter/printer like in AutoCAD.
