I am unable to print from ViaCad. Printer will print fine from other applications but not ViaCad. I am running ViaCad 2D/3D V.9.0.4, build 1166. I am running WIN10 64 bit Home version with 4 gig of RAM. My printer is hooked up via wireless router connection. When I go to print layout it shows in spooler but never prints. I belive it may have something to do with the 3D views. Does anyone have any insight into this? I can save as BMP and print but resolution is not as good. I am hoping someone has a solution.

Are you able to create a simple line (no solids/mesh/surfaces) and print?

If you can email me the file, I can check if it is a general software type of error and not a print driver error.

I have seen that issue printing to a printer, but not to pdf files. I can print fine to pdf file, but not to a physical printer with V9. Using win 10 and printing to wireless printer. Tried printing from win 7 with V8 and its fine, but tye difference is windows versions and ViaCAD versions.
