Printing seems completely broken for me in Rhino 8 on M2 Mac.
I have my printer selected as the destination, and I’ve played with all the settings and can’t seem to get anything to actually draw on the page preview. When I click “Print” it closes the printing dialog but nothing else happens - it doesn’t send the job to the printer or print a blank page.
Is there some master setting that’s preventing me from being able to print anything?
What gives? Everything seems to still work in Rhino 7
Hi Chris, The solution at the moment is to use a PDF printer.
Please see the previous posts for more details.
Hi Japhy,
I appreciate the quick response. The PDF destination seems broken as well - it won’t zoom to extents when selected, so I have to manually change the window.
I hope this feels like a priority for you guys - being able to quickly and easily print out views of projects that I’m working on was something I really enjoyed back in Rhino 6. 7 was worse but still useable. This feels like it doesn’t bode well when I’ve just shelled out for the upgrade.
Thanks,
It’s a very high priority and the fix is going through testing at the moment.
What is your SystemInfo? (Run SystemInfo in the Rhino command line)
Thanks Japhy!

There are some print improvements in the Service Release Candidate (currently 8.4), the fix for this particular one is expected in rc 8.5
To get the Service Release Candidates please go to Rhino 8>Settings>General Tab and set the Update Options from Service Release to Service Release Candidate. Thanks!
I think this is RH-79728 Printing: Scale / Extents combination is not working correctly
otherwise let me know if it’s a different issue.
I actually think I put a fix in for this last night into 8.4. Hopefully the next 8.4 release candidate which will likely be available later today will fix this issue
