| | VISTA - printing problems from FSX I KNOW that this question might be silly, but still..... here's my problem. I bought FSX Deluxe + Acc pack some time ago. After flying the lessons for some days i finally managed to make the solo flight and was awarded a certificate for that. I had to fill my name in that certificate and then print it out. The printer box opened all right and I could choose my printer, BUT when I choose the "print" option nothing happens!!! I have tried 2 different printers and to print to file, but no print command is sent from FSX to the printer. OK having that certificate might for someone be silly but I think it would be a nice thing to have. This question was originally posted at the FSX forum but I was recommended to post it here by a member. He was pretty sure that Mr Allan Morris could solve this problem. I have checked the printer queue and it's empty regardless of the printer I choose. My printer has no problems writing in landscape-mode. When I open the printer properties where I can se the document name, status and so on, at the same time that I ask for a printout, I can se a quick flicker of the message "spooling" and then nothing. It's not possible to print to file. It seems funny that ALL other printouts from FSX work regardless in witch mode I have FSX. I have MATROX TripleHead2Go installed so I can have a "wide" view in FSX. Just to be sure I UNINSTALLED Matrox, connected the monitor directly to my PC and tried again, but with the same result. My Printers are HP LaserJet 5p and Canon i950 and I use Windows Vista Home Premium. I have 2,40 GHz Core 2 Dual processors, 4 GB of RAM and a Nvidia GeForce 8800GT graphics card.

| | Re: VISTA - printing problems from FSX One thing you might try is printing to a XPS file. That is basically Microsoft's version of a PDF file. Once it prints to that, you can print that to a regular printer, and on a piece of paper. If it doesn't print to the XPS file, then post back, and we'll try something else.  And it's not silly. I have my printout for my certificate, as well. It's well deserved. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "Jack J Jackson" <JackJJackson@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7039F6DB-7A69-4D92-A38B-112FAA49B0B7@xxxxxx Quote: >I KNOW that this question might be silly, but still..... here's my problem. > > I bought FSX Deluxe + Acc pack some time ago.

| | Re: VISTA - printing problems from FSX I tried the same thing here, and it does not print on my printers (Samsung CLP-300, and Canon Pixma 4000), and I even tried to make it as an XPS and PDF (using DanePrairie Win2PDF), and it was not working "Dustin Harper" <dharper@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:53B7916F-162D-40B8-96EE-13E97237496A@xxxxxx Quote: > One thing you might try is printing to a XPS file.
