loukash Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Printed an .afpub with artboards.APu crashed upon finishing sending the data to the printer and exiting the Print dialog. The actual print job finished OK.

Staff stokerg Posted November 18, 2021 Staff Posted November 18, 2021 Hi @loukash, Can you try the steps below and then see if you can print from Affinity: Go into the Notes app or TextEdit and type anything Select to Print > Presets > Show Presets > Tick the box to Reset Presets Menu to "Default Settings" After Printing Continue to print Now launch Affinity Designer > Open a document > Select Print If it hasn't crashed > Select printer settings manually and not "Last Used Settings" > Continue to print Select Print again > Untick the reset option listed above loukash 1 Quote

But I'll check again when I'm in my office. From my earlier issues with the print dialog, I remember that changing various settings in the Range & Scale, Document Layout and Bleed & Marks sections back and forth would usually result in a crash eventually. Earlier this year I recall to have posted in a thread on this topic. For what it's worth, as a workaround I have resorted to PDF export and printing from Preview.app which worked fine.
