datapharmer commented 7 years ago

To reproduce:

  1. Create or Open a Pencil Document
  2. Choose Menu > Print and set paper size to "Letter" click print, choose a printer and ok
  3. After printing choose Menu > Print and set paper size to "Letter" click print Expected Behavior: Prints Actual Behavior: Export screen pops up and hangs Workaround: Exit program completely and reload every time you need to print (very annoying!)

Printers tested against: HP 8600 inkjet, Canon m620 Laser, Microsoft Print to PDF

I have just seen this as well, except the first time it prints, it does not complete the full job (XML data is printed on Page 7 and the remainder of the pages are truncated.).

Same issue as @datapharmer with version 3.0.4, A4 paper and Ricoh printer.

I found the best results by exporting to the file type I wanted, and then using another program to print the data in that format.

Same issue as @datapharmer with version 3.0.4 on win 10 Home, A3 paper and Ricoh printer. As @DaveKlassen suggested, it is best to export the pages as *.png and then print them by using the print entry from the context menu.

I have found this same issue with ver 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.13.2/10.12. Print once, restart, repeat. Also, after printing once, I tried exporting and it hung as well. After restarting pencil, I was able to export, successfully, a number of different files. This is a suitable workaround for me, but the printing issue should still be fixed.
