Rhino PDF won't print

Hi

For the past few days, my Rhino PDF won’t print if any of the detail is in Arctic or Shadded display mode. I tried to change the display mode to wireframe and it works. Even if the Rhino file is 2 mb, light, it just won’t print and is just stop responding at all. I down-saved to R6 and have no problem with the same file in R6.

I have tried to reinstall Rhino but no luck. What else should I do to check what’s is causing this issue?

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks

check the date on your video card driver… occasionally we see old drivers make pdf printing misbehave.

Hi @theoutside I did. My Nvidia driver is up to date. I did another test. I got a PDF printed on a smaller sheet of paper. 11x17. For some reason it just doesn’t work on my E1 layout…

Please make sure you are updated to at least Rhino 7.10. This is something that we have worked on in recent service releases.

Hi @stevebaer I am on the latest released. Reinstalled but no luck. I vaguely recall the problem started after I updated my nvidia driver about 10 ago. Could that be the problem?

Hi -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi -

Did you update those drivers because of some problems with Rhino?
I suppose you could always try both a clean install of the drivers after making sure that Windows is on the latest update or using an older driver but I would start with disabling all the non-standard plug-ins that you are running.
-wim

I updated the driver because the system notified me nothing was wrong in Rhino before that. Tried to clean install an up-to-date nvidia driver and still no luck. Also disabled the plug-ins. What should I try next?

Thx

Hi @wim Is there a way to get Rhino 7 rollback versions and see it will fix the problem? Thanks
