Printing compatibility issue

@VectorStyler If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

I will have this bug still open. I think it is some sort for VS <> printer driver compatibility issue on Windows.

[debraspicher]

I have a new printer. I sent you the tests for it directly.

@debraspicher Got the files, I will try to find out what causes the issues.

I only did one print, but it does seem like the print alignment issue is fixed. I haven't done rigorous testing or anything.

It still ignores the Print Preview option in the print dialog, so probably ignoring all the other settings there as well.

I did a test print now because I just needed a simple peak at a draft and yes, it still ignores Print Preview. This is a known. Bizarrely, however, it won't print a Layer group that has reduced opacity. I seem to remember encountering this before. It's almost like it is being treated as a template Layer.

Having the ability to add bleeds in our PNGs/JPG exports would help get around this as printing in-software is not so critical where color management is usually handled best from software focused specifically for printing. (with appropriate export and correct profiles).

@debraspicher I open a new bug on this.
Is there an example document which I can use for replicating this?

EDIT: and what was the printer?

[debraspicher]

@VectorStyler The printer used is in my signature (Epson ET-8550). I'll make a document.

Also, I noted trying Microsoft Print to PDF, I can only output an Adobe Postscript file (*.ps). Was curious what would happen there...

I made a folder of files here so it's easier to see what is happening and included the .ps file:

@debraspicher Got it, thanks!

The opacity issue can be partially replicated here. Here it will print the object, but without opacity.

[debraspicher]

@VectorStyler I've had that happen as well
