Re: [Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing
Art, Thanks for the comment. Like I said, Windows 7 was nice and stable, but Microsoft being what it is, yes, they can sabotage anything they want (including abandon it) and not answer to anybody because they "own" it, whether it's Windows 7 or 10. I recall glitches in a manual I was working on for a client company back about 10 years ago and Word glitched; I was on page 125 or something when all of a sudden when I tagged a listed item "bullet" from the list of formats, every bullet in all of the various lists in the book disappeared. All the indents remained and the assigned format name remained but no bullet could be found anywhere in that book. Thank heavens for Ctrl-Z and they all reappeared. I forgot how I got around that bugaboo. I posted a query about this on the techw-list and the reply I got was because it's Microsoft and it does what it does and doesn't worry about collateral damage or consequences. As for this Windows 10 problem, I talked with the IT guy where I work and he showed me on his own platform how to pull up the "Programs & Features" and "Uninstall Updates" screens so when the next updates do their self-installation and if this printer problem recurs, I hopefully should be able to locate the particular update to uninstall.

"Quills", Your sarcasm is noted. I'm just looking for help trying to ward off future problems with Windows 10 updates. And this is the first update since I was "forced" into Windows 10 that has caused this problem. Going back to Windows 7 (which I liked) might be tempting, but in the long run, it'll wind up just like Windows XP, forgotten and unsupported.

Maybe the Samsung C1810 is a postscript printer. Postscript printers create a PS file and then send it to the printer.

Re: [Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing
A recent Windows 10 update broke the ability to make PDFs from FrameMaker. Is that what you were trying to do? The solutions is to revert back to Windows 10 version 1709. I think the other solution was to switch to CYMK. I'm not sure about the second option. I went with the 1st option. I can't find the webpage where it said how to do this.

Windows 10 is spyware and the auto-upgrade routine in Windows 7 and 8.1 is a virus. You can install a tool such as GWX or Never10 to block the virus.

Re: [Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing
Would (go back to Windows 7) if I could but can’t so I won’t. Windows 10 did an automatic install when I had Windows 7, and I don’t want to repeat that debacle.

[Framers] Windows 10 updates disables FM printing
Here's something I didn't need to have happen on a Saturday night. And I suspect the cause seems to be Windows 10 updates. Worked on some FM 10.0 files Saturday morning and all was well and was able to print to my Samsung C1810W color laserjet printer. I knew Windows had downloaded updates the night before because I was prompted to do a restart. I postponed the restart until I completed my work. Sometime later in the day on Saturday when I was out cutting the lawn, the automatic restart occurred and the Windows 10 updates finished installing. Late that night when I tried to print in FrameMaker, I got a pop-up with "FrameMaker" in the top left corner and the statement, "Cannot print because the selected default printer is not compatible with FrameMaker. (Cannot query escape 768.)" This also occurred when I tried to print to the "Adobe" printer as well. By the way, it prints a Word file just fine. And NO, I did not diddle with FM or do anything else today with it. After doing some online searching, I learned how to go back to the previous Windows 10 "build" and now can print once more from FM. But now I'm paranoid about Windows 10 updates once more screwing with my settings. I am aware that I can somehow install only the updates I want but not others. So what gives and how to end this predicament?
