OSX Printing Bug?

[falkaholic]

10.2.1, FM 5.5.2

Have a new layout the print an inventory list. Print it, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing printed, no job in the print center.

Other layouts print. In non-printing layout, i take out logo, it prints fine.

Bug or feature?

If you are printing to a postscript printer, it may not be an OSX problem specifically. If the logo is a complex graphic (like some sort of encapsulated postscript), it's possible that the printer driver has generated a postscript job file that is too big for the printer to handle. If this happens, the printer runs out of memory and aborts the job. This can happen in every Mac OS. However, from my recent experiments in parsing OSX generated Postscript files, I can tell you that the OSX ones can be much larger than the OS8/9 ones.

In the print dialog, if you set the job logging option to report postscript errors, it will let you know what happened.
