Printing in Layout -
-
Hi,
We're getting used to layout which looks like a great tool.
however, we can't seem to get it to print properly to A3. We have to workaround via PDF, which is useless as a workflow to check progress etc.
We use a HP 9800 printer, I'm told others have this problem, what can be done ?
Or is it a bug ? If it is, it's a fairly fundamental one, and shouldn't even be termed beta !!

Print preview has known bugs. But actual printing should work.
Is it print preview that isn't working (I assume you're on Windows)? -
Hi
I have the same printer and have the same problem. Convert to pdf and print that, problem solved.

Thanks, nope both preview and print are non-functional.
Printing via pdf may be a limitation causing us to use pngs imported into publisher or the like. Not ideal !!!
I've seen on the google groups site that this is a problem, any body in google care to comment ?
Or offer something other than a workaround ?
We REALLY want to get layout established as a tool where I work !!! But editing with exports to pdf. Need to think hard about that !!!

Hmmm... thought I responded but it didn't show up, so I'll try again (sorry if it's a duplicate):
I responded in Google Groups as well, but we will take a look. Please remain patient - having worked in the printing industry for um, longer than I'd like to admit, to have one printer and printer driver not working on Windows should not come as a shock to inhabitants of this planet. We will try to reproduce and fix this, but please be patient. It is simply impossible for us to look at every printer and every driver, but when we hear reports we will hunt them down and squash them like the bugs that they are. The Google Groups report involved a print server - does this one as well, or is it directly connected? Do you have a Mac in the office and have you tried printing with the Mac driver?
Please explain why you're importing into publisher?
Thanks for any additional information you can provide to help us solve this.
