GDI Failure

2012-01-23 08:36 am

When trying to open up print preview on version 2.1, a GDI Failure kept popping. I thought updating would work, but now version 2.5.2 does the same thing. Any ideas why???

Is your printer driver a GDI one or does it use PCL or Postscript? What you describe sounds to me like a dodgy GDI type printer driver.

You must have at least one printer defined. On Windows XP, 'MS Publisher Imagesetter' works well. It is listed as Manufacturer:Generic in the Add Printer Wizard.
