Pat13 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'm a long-time InDesign user and really want to switch over to Publisher. One of my main uses of ID is printing on 4 x 6 index cards, and I am having an extremely difficult time duplicating this in Publisher. My difficulty is printing. I can set up the card, get the formatting and everything, but no matter what I try, I cannot get the card to print correctly. I've tried landscape, portrait - it doesn't seem to matter. Then, after misprinting on the card, I will try and print and the card processes through the printer and NOTHING is printed! I'm using a Mac, High Sierra and an HP LaserJet Pro 400 printer. I would welcome any suggestions. I really want to make this work and switch. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat13 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 FEEDBACK on original post: I just downloaded version 1.7.0.192 and am now able to print on my 4 x 6 cards with no issues. Don't know what happened, but am delighted it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat13 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Update: I just installed version 1.7.0.206 and once again cannot print on the 4 x 6 cards. The card feeds through the printer, but absolutely nothing prints. If anyone reading this could try and replicate my problem, I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Steps Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is called a regression. Until they fixed it and add a unit test to ensure it stays that way this may flip with every version.

Pat13 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 re. latest download 1.7.0.337. Once again, I was trying to print on my 4 x 6 cards. Only this time, by mistake, I had it set up to print on 5 x 7 cards and it printed just fine, only margins, etc. were off. But it printed. So I tried the 4 x 6 cards. Nothing. It processes the card through the printer, but nothing prints. I'm using a Mac, Mojave 10.14.5 and a HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color printer. If I save the 4 x 6 card from Publisher to a PDF file, then open the PDF file in Acrobat it prints just fine. I can set up a 5 x 7 template, adjust margins, etc, so that it prints correctly on a 4 x 6 card, but I don't think I should have to use a workaround? Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing? Or is this just a bug? Many thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert joseph bailey Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 When I have had problems with printing I export to PDF and print that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat13 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Is printing in general an issue, then, not just to my 4x6 cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
