Printing Problems


L+K

Recommended Posts

We're currently using an Epson Stylus 1520 to print 11x17 VW drawings. Recently, several lines in our drawings are missing when we print them out- however, very visible on the screen. It seems the problem began shortly after installing VW9, but has also afflicted our 8 filles, too. Is there a bug in 9 that you're aware of? Print driver issue? Any suggestions??

Thanks.

The Epson 1520 on my system only works in MAC OS 9, not OS X flavors. Is that what you are using?

VW 8.5.x is what I use under OS 9 and it has always been fine- no line squishing.

Perhaps you or someone else can comment about using this printer in OS X. No drivers appear to be available for it or for the RIP that Epson sold.

We are using OS 9.x. The lines may or may not have a common weight or layer, class..... I don't think that's the problem being that it printed before and now it doesn't.

It's not a paper size issue either.

For example, in a section, a column will just be missing from the print. It has the same attributes as all of the other columns, but for some reason it doesn't print.

The patterns thingy - Try this: Go into the Print menu, from the drop down box, select VectorWorks. There is an option there to Enable special processing for transparent color bitmaps. Try checkmarking this option and see what happens to your patterns.

You say it printed before, but doesn't print now. What version of VW did it print in last?

Do you have CarbonLib 1.6 installed?
