omake Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Edit 1: I put the correct computer model, and added this in the appropriate place: EDIT: To be clear it SAYS "fit to printable" but it is not until I reselect it even thought it's ALREADY selected. Usually menus don't even update that way. Have to select something else first. Edit 2: actually the preview does not center on top/center it's in the middle somewhere. AND it seems to not be so painfully slow if printing to an area the same size as the document. I Printed to a PDF of size 2'x3' with a custom "paper" size, and the problem seemed to mostly go away. Once I hit command-p a "printing page 1" dialog shows up that you can only "cancel" if you don't want to wait for it. But, it takes a WHILE in this document, but if you select a paper size smaller than the artboard... apparently the following happens.::: Designer 2 version available as of today, 2.3.1, MacOS 13.vent Mac Studio M1 Printing a file with some imported resources, even though it's only 24"x35" and not that many objects. It takes forever. There are almost–– constant beachballs in the print dialog. Which sucked b/c I had to adjust it to "Fit to printable area" and "Artboard 1" as the area to print instead of "Scale". for some reason it defaults just the page size cut out of the document at I guess a top-center centered position, so in other words, I wanted to preview a poster on my printer at 8.5x11 US Letter. Fine. But It shows only this tiny area all blown up. Not useful. So I have to fight these constant beachballs, and try to get the "fit to printable area" option selected. Eventually I do that, and make a preset as well. Still, now when I print, the preset is automatically selected due to my system setup, but the SETTING itself doesn't change to match the preset! In other words, the preset menu shows the preset, but the settings are ignoring it. It's not a fun time at the print dialog. IT DOES REMEMBER to print "artboard 1" so I know it's trying.... EDIT: To be clear it SAYS "fit to printable" but it is not until I reselect it even thought it's ALREADY selected. Usually menus don't even update that way. Have to select something else first. Another all new Afdesign file with embedded/linked? (see my other bug report) DOES apply both parts of the preset. It's possible that without the constant beachballs my document would allow the full preset to be applied... but... it seems faster if I try to fight them from the start. This is a document with my own ai files dropped as well as some stock stuff from pexels (a jpg) and some original work done in designer 2, and an SVG, my own png, and about 20 embedded Tiff files. ALL files are between 0.15kb and 358kb ! The full document is under 24MB! However, the resource manager, again, shows... all the tiffs properly embedded with the path being just the file name. The png is linked from a weirdly relativistic folder b/c the original was in my iCloud... but I think that means the embedded bug is plaguing me again as described in my other post? And the svg shows an absolute path!! /Users/myname/blahblahblah ! The png has a "show in finder" available... not sure if this is normal for "embedded" files to show it outside the afdesign file? The SVG has everything ghosted in rm but "locate in doc" and "replace" buttons.... I have spent lots of time on this now, for now it looks like the only safe way for me to use these apps is with all original content. I hope you fix these resource manager bugs soon. Mb that's what's messing with my print dialogue? No idea. I have decided to throw some more money at adobe on a case by case month by month basis for now. I am trying really hard to learn these apps and make use of them and put in thoughtful reports like this with lots of my own testing. I'm sad I have to turn away for now. I still am not enjoying adobe.... Thank you. Edited February 12 by omake Edit 2: actually the preview does not center on top/center it's in the middle somewhere.

Staff Callum Posted February 13 Staff Share Posted February 13 Hi Omake, I've not known the print dialogue to lag in the way you are describing before it might be worth uninstalling and reinstalling your printer just to see if this solves any of your issues. If this doesn't solve your issues especially with applying the print pre-set please could you provide a screen recording demonstrating the problems?

omake Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 (edited) @Callum You mean remove the printer queue and add it again or actually reinstall all the drivers? Edit: added screen recording. Printer driver has not been messed with. That's approximately 2.5-3 minutes of fighting and / or waiting to get it to send to the printer.
