PDF not fully loaded for printing

Post by royzee »

Hi people.
Hope someone can help.
When I have a PDF as an attachment, I click on it and it opens in a new TB page.
I see it, its there !
However, when I go to print it, it goes to a new screen and the pages are blank.
If I print it, the pages are blank.
If I close the screen I get the above message.
This only happened recently, its always worked before.
Windows 10
TB 91.10.0
Many thanks in advance
Rob

See what happens if you save the .pdf attachment as a file, open it using your systems pdf viewer, and then try to print. Perhaps there is something wrong with your print queue. You might also experiment with a different PDF viewer if you can't print from it.

Hi
Many thanks for the reply, appreciate it.
I can save the document then open it with Adobe and it will print fine, so thats the workaround Ive been using.
Just annoying to have to do it as it always worked the other way, before

Thanks

The only other thing I can suggest is to reset print* in the config editor using the trash can icon, exit and restart. That should create new printer settings for whatever printer you use next.

It helps to check the show only modified settings checkbox when searching.
