Printer + Snow Leopard + AC12 = No paper selection

I installed Snow Leopard prior to reading the warnings from GS.

Seems to be working fine, however I've got a problem selecting paper sizes in page setup. Most of the paper sizes are grayed out (with each of my 3 printers: hp 3330, hp 110+ and Canon ip4300)

Seems to only be an issue with Archicad.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.

Same issue here. The work around I found was in page set up and format for any printer and select the paper size, then format for the required printer. The paper size is still greyed out but selected. Not sure if this will work with larger paper sizes. This is an issue with my HP but not my Epson.

Ahh, Way to "whip it"... whip it good!
That'll work for now.
Thanks Mate.

It's reassuring to know i'm not the only one.

EDIT:
It appears GS is aware of the problem.

Hello

Sorry to have to restart this topic but I feel Graphisoft should have a hotfix for AC12 (and 10 for that matter).

Even though I would love to buy the 13 upgrade I cannot justify it right now so am stuck with PDF'ing nearly everything. I switch back and forth between an HP 110+nr and an HP 2840 for A4 documents...it's a real pain when you just want a screen print and don't want to go through Publisher (make a view, place on Layout, save as PDF) and then print though the PDF viewer. This takes time (and every minute counts sometimes); also the file size increases with every view saved and "laid-out".

I will post this on the "Wishes" index as well.

There is a new Hotfix-6 for AC12.
I haven't checked the list of fixes but you guys can give it a shot.
Access it with the Help\Check for Updates menu command.
