      I don't often use shadows. However, If I remember correctly, in the past when I sent a view using shadows to the printer, the shadows printed. I just tried on two different models and the shadows don't print. Is this something that needs to be configured?

        Could be an OpenGL setting. What happens if you export a PNG? Does that display the shadows?

          Are you printing to scale rather than a perspective view? It sounds like you have checked 'use high accuracy HLR' at the bottom right of the print dialogue. This will produce a vector drawing but at the expense of shadows and textures. Uncheck it to print shadows.
