Full Version: Printer stops during printing a certain image

As crazy as this sounds, try it. Select all, cut and paste to a brand new page.
It has worked for me on a bunch of jobs. Seems like the page gets corrupted but the image is OK.

Brian,

In my case, the image would print "hit and miss" on the same printer.

When the misses became more frequent than the hits, I delved further into the PDF (logo, used in the artwork) and found some extraneous (hidden) lines.

Removed the lines and I was back in business.

Brian,

Another thought on your situation, is to shut down (and reboot) the printer and computer, in case some of the corrupt information is stored in either place.

Just a "heads up" about rebooting a printer..... unplug the printer from both the computer AND the powersource to clear its memory. Just turning off the computer and printer power does not always clear the memory. Some printers maintain a trickle of power use that keeps the printer in sleep mode rather than totally off. :-)

File has been fixed and printed great after converting to a bitmap.

Thanks everyone!

The other thing to watch out for is that part of the job may still be in the print spooler.

What I find works sometimes it to save the file in a different format, then import it to Corel again. Sometimes that cleans up whatever code glitch is there.

There was also a problem between the Epson C86(?) and the Windows spooler a while ago, it caused lockups after the job was printed and either the spooler had to be shut down and restarted or you had to reboot Windows after each printout. Downloading Epson's latest driver finally solved that one. Be sure if you download the new driver you first delete that printer from the system before installing the new one. (A re-boot in between is a safety that is sometimes needed with that particular problem.)
