Did you install the print previewer in 98 before upgrading?
I had to deinstall and reinstall Protel 99SE from scratch because some DLL
or registry setting was messed up by some addon I installed.
Usually when I get weird exceptions like this I have found them to be
because of an old DLL. Before going back to Protel 98 I'd uninstall
everything to do with Protel, then do a fresh install of Protel99SE and
service pack 6. Doing this on my Win2k machine cleaned up all the strange
exceptions. I just wish it would give a closing Protel dialog box when it
takes 20 seconds of doing nothing to close.
Oh and I just tested print preview with the Win2k driver for a Laserjet 4M
Plus with no problem on my Win2k machine.

I know the feeling, I searched the KB about printing problems as our
archives indicate someone else was sending Protel reports on printing
crashes under win2k, but no issues came up :o(
I have tried printing to my Canon BJC4650 with the same problem "Exception
occured in PCBPrint: PrintPreview"
As I said schematics are fine, just not PCB's.
I went to HP's site and upgraded my laserjet driver also but still no go
:o(
Any Ideas or is it only fixable by dropping back to Protel 98 ???
Regards,
Kat.

problems with a great many applications (as I recall, back when it was a
"hot" item, ~1992, many apps crashed when attempting to print to the
device). You might start by trying to update the driver, and/or check Hp's
site for troubleshooter info. I did a quick search for you at Protel's (um,
I mean Altium) site, (http://www.protel.com) but either the KB is busted,
poorly written, or simply no longer contains any entries regarding the HP4L
(I am almost positive that it once did...)
