Shadows Not Printing

Grandpa Moses here...

I've encountered a new phenomenon. My ground and wall shadows are showing up as I want them on screen but not on printouts. What could I be doing wrong?

I might be completely wrong on this, but i dont think SU wil print out shadows straight from the model. If you export a jpeg of it first, though, that should work. Make sure youve got shadows turned on when you export the jpg

If you happened to select "Use High-Accuracy HLR" from the Print Quality settings, shadows and textures won't print, as the setting outputs only raw vector data to the printer. The result is similar to using the PDF or EPS options when exporting a 2D image. The other print quality settings should print shadows normally.
