Printing problem with new imac...

[Anonymous]

Just got a new 21" imac and transferred via firewire all the contents from original mac pro 15" laptop. Now I am having problems with printing AC and Plotmaker with some of the drawing printing but not all, especially text. It is an HP 6210 all-in-one. Embarassed to say I am still happily working in AC v8.5 . Other apps seem to print fine ie, pdf files, word, excel... As I send it to print or pdf I get a simple "printing error" dialog box with no details. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks for anything

Hello,

Check and repair the disk permissions with Disk Utility, they seem to be totally messed up after firewiring process.

This has helped at least with newer versions.

I have had a similar problem printing from ArchiCadd 11. after recently
upgraded my computer to a new iMac (iMac 11,3 model). My last computer,
an older iMac, ran OS X 10.5.8, the new one is on OS X 10.6.7. Archicad
opens and runs on the new computer, but it does not print (it prints
blanks, even though it goes through the printing dialogue) . The same
problem when I try to save drawings in pdf format. My old computer still
prints the same files fine. But I discovered one other thing: If I try to print the entire file, it works fine.
It only blanks out when I call to print "Current Zoom Only". I can still print if I run the program on the old computer
Have you seen this problem before?
Is there a solution?
