Thanks Ron for the idea. I had 5 drivers (old) that work with my printer. None worked. Went online to Dell and found an update to 3 of them. I tried these, 2 had the printer print blank pages and one did not work at all. So I guess that is progress? Thanks, HB On 12/2/2018 1:52 PM, Ronal B M

Thank you. I don't have a solution, but I can tell you I have experienced the same problem with Windows, except in my case the application was "NannyPay2", which is a front end for FileMakerPro. In that case the print dialog would not accept any input into the page range settings and that led to n

It gives me the choice of All (pre-selected) or pages. Selection and current page are dimmed and cannot be selected. All does not work and when I put a 1 or 1-2 in for pages it does not work either. HB On 12/2/2018 11:15 AM, Ronal B Morse wrote: Sidman, can you manually enter a value/select a

Sidman, can you manually enter a value/select an option from the now blank "page range" setting? There should be options for "all" and "range" with a dialog box, and "current page" or similar. RBM On Sun, 2018-12-02 at 10:04 -0600, David Carlson wrote: > I have run out of ideas. Any others ab

There is no problem printing from other programs. Because of my work I print from 10 or 15 different programs to printers and pdf. I have tried to print checks and reports to pdf and it will print. However, the result is a blank page. HB On 12/2/2018 9:00 AM, David Carlson wrote: That behavior

That behavior is very similar to what you see when the output goes to the wrong printer. Have you tried things like printing to PDF or printing from a different program? David C On Sun, Dec 2, 2018, 7:31 AM HB Sidman I ran the fix - modified for windows 10 64 and Microsoft Edge/IE11. Never > ha

I ran the fix - modified for windows 10 64 and Microsoft Edge/IE11. Never had the problem with the reports not showing just not printing. It did not work. When I bring up a report or check to print, I clink on "print". This opens the print window box. It shows my printer as "ready". In the Pag

You can see how old this bug is, I am not sure if you can run IE9 in windows 10. Perhaps someone knows if this work-around can be adapted to WIN 10. On Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 1:40 AM David Carlson wrote: > HB, > > I found the bug report. Check comment 40. > > https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi

That looks identical to the same file on my computer, but I did not check the entire guid line. There is a very old bug report about not being able to print in Windows which has never been resolved because it cannot be repeated. I don't remember the bug number. Someone found a work-around that s

HB, Windows always calls *.chk files 'Recovered File Fragments' If the files are in the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks' directory they are not fragments but the files that you want, at least for 2.6.x releases of GnuCash in Windows. You can open them (carefully) with Wordpa

Hi, After using gnucash for several years I decided it was time to upgrade from 2 to 3 a few months ago. Bad decision. If it is not broken don't fix it. The upgrade went smoothly with no problem. Every function worked both old and new. Until I tried to print a check. At which point nothing ha
