Title: Can print in 1.6.2 in WIndows 10
Post by: Rumbletum on October 26, 2024, 12:04:47 AM
After updating to Scribus 1.6.2 the files I have created for printing labels in older versions will not print.These files printed no trouble before.
My printer sounds as if it is going to print but then doesn't. I have uninstalled the HP driver for my Officejet Pro 8620 and re-installed but still won't print.Any advice on what's going on and how to fix it would be apreciated.

are you printing directly to the printer? or are you creating a PDF and printing that? You should be doing the latter).

Thank you for the reply.I had been trying to print direct to the printer as i had done countless times before. I did as you suggest and saved a file as a PDF. I had bother picking the correct printer port in the driver ( not sure why that was needed? ) but the files printed fine just using paper.I can now print the labels now.Thank you for help it is much appreciated.
