Problems with printing items

Postby LadyoftheCave » Tue Feb 03, 2009 11:37 pm

I have problems with printing items in Inkscape. If I try to print an item, I receive the following message:

In Spooler SubSystem App is een fout opgetreden en moet worden afgesloten. Onze excuses voor dit ongemak.
(roughly translated: In Spooler Subsystem app an error appeared en must be shut down, our apologies for the inconvenience)

Then my printer-icon dissappeared and I can only print again (only in other programs) if I restart my computer..

Does somebody know what to do with it?

It could be the fault of Inkscape, but your first step should be to ensure you have the latest drivers for your printer installed.

Hi,

The latest driver is installed. I have no problem with printing documents in every program. Only Inkscape has problems with printing files. :(

Is there a way to solve this problem

What operating system are you printing from?

Hmmm... I assume you are also using version 0.46. I would uninstall Inkscape, delete the contents of c:\Document and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\Inkscape, then reinstall Inkscape and try printing again.

Note that I'm not familiar with your problem. These are just some standard steps.

Is it doing it with just one drawing, or every drawing?

Hi Micro..

I have solved the problem. I remembered you first remark about the printer-driver. Although my printer is brightnew, I have downloaded an another driver from the official epson website. And now I can finally print items..

Thank you for your help :D :D :D
