Printing Dialog in Mac Rhino is very Sketchy

Hi

I just tried to print something (on paper with a laserprinter) out of rhino which i rarely do. I had great troubles to adjust the printed area. I tried with different strategies but all the functions seem very sketchy and not working well and as expected. Primarily the function where you can draw a square to define the printed area did respond very strangely to my inputs. While drawing with the mouse, it seemd to produce a square as if i would mark stuff with the mouse and draw the square for the printing area somewhere else… not in a manner controllable to me… i expected to just be able to draw a square and whatever is within, will be printed. also by default, you can’t just move the existing square (if you hit the button to move the square, it says there is nothing to move despite a square is being displayed…).

Hi elkooo,

Can you run your SystemInfo command and post the result. Thanks!
