Ohhh boy, this is an oldy..... I cant remember what was done to fix the problem, but, if you search the [PEDA] archives for printer driver & crash, you will find a bundle of issues.
I do remember that Protel had some problems with true post-script thru laser printer drivers. 1 fix I remember was to delete all your printer drivers from the control panel & install this win-PDF printer driver from: http://www.daneprairie.com/ After loading / printing to pdf / saving you project, re-install your true printer driver & Protel should stop crashing when printing in the future. _____________ Brian Guralnick ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Protel 99SE crashes when Printing PCB I've never personally experienced this problem, but I do rememeber a ways back when folks were talking about updated Jet drivers for print-related Protel chokes...Maybe Ian W., Brian G., Ivan, Mike Reagan, or Joe might know more...???
