This was reported recently and we’ve been able to replicate, the internal builds have this sorted out and we expect it to be available to the public soon (8.5?)
one way to check is to run the GetIssueState in the Rhino command line and input the issue number, in this case its RH-79723
I have a client reporting that no connected physical printers at all show up (only PDF and Image) when trying to print from Mac Rhino 8.4, and have one other person who is seeing the same thing… Is that correct?
Please see attached screenshot. The connected printers show in the list, but do absolutely nothing. As you can see, there is no print preview. Clicking on the print button closes the print window, but does nothing else.
The pdf and image selections do work.
Thanks for your continuing efforts to investigate this.
What’s interesting is that I opened V7 to check if the printer was in the list there - which it was - and then went back and opened V8 - and then it showed up in the list as well… Did V7 do something to get the printer registered in V8? Anyway, with V8 now, it does print to the printer here.
Will the “open in Preview” function return in an update soon? Having to print to file just to preview is awkward, as specially while dialing in line-weights
thanks
Hello -
I am continuing to experience strange printing quirks in rhino for mac that don’t happen in Windows. In print preview, all viewports look as expected. When printed to PDF on mac 12.5.1, Rhino 8.9.24194.18122, many viewports are missing all linework, showing only the paperspace annotations. When printed in Windows 10 the print comes out looking as expected.
Hello - is there any progress on this mac-related printing issue? It’s consistent across several drawings and every time I can see it in print preview, but not in the PDF.
There have been some improvements in 8.10 and 8.11 in terms of certain fonts and glyphs failing in the mac’s pdf writing. Have you tried out version 8.11 yet?
Sorry, is 8.11 a beta I have to download separately? The ‘check for updates’ says I’m current on 8.10, and Serengeti has version 9.
There seems to be a few different conditions that trigger this, one of which is turning down the mesh wireframe thickness to zero. It shows up fine in print preview, and prints in Windows, but not Mac. I found this issue with a new model that I imported from Blender, but I think the example I posted in July is something different, because that’s all native geometry w/o meshes.
Please post both a 3dm file that we can troubleshoot and the custom display mode that you are using when printing. We’ll also need details on the printing settings as these are not saved in the file.
