There are two settings in printer properties you might try:
Start, Settings, Printers, (select printer -- use right mouse key for
options)
Properties, details, spool settings:
Try the option: print directly to printer.
That will remove any difficulty caused if there is a spooler problem on your
computer. The down side is that your program will remain open until the
printing concludes (or is passed to memory on your printer.)
Another setting to try:
Change the option for Spool data format to: RAW
I think one of these settings corrected the same problem for me.
