  1. Fonts will not allow me to print

    using Illustrator 22.1 after upgrading to the newest version I can not print. I get the error can't print illustration. If I convert the type to outlines it will print.

  2. Ilustrator Crashes when printing to laser cutter.

    Hello,
    I typically use illustrator to print to our Epilog Mini Helix 24" Laser Cutter/Engraver. When printing, you go into setup, select the laser, then go into it's preferences to configure laser-specific settings. When you hit "Print" it sends the files to software provided by Epilog: Job Manager.

    This is an annoyingly repeatable problem, as I am not able to laser cut anything from Illustrator. It crashes every time.

    However, in the past couple days this has suddenly stopped working. No matter what file I try to send to the job manager, the whole program crashes when I hit "Print."…

  3. Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 and Roland Cutstudio Plug-In Issue

    Hi all,

    I'm having great difficulties with Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 and using the Roland Cutstudio Plug-In on both Windows 7 64-bit and Mac OS Sierra 10.13.2.

    I have tried to install it both with the Adobe Creative Cloud HTML and also with Anistasy's Extension Manager. While the extension does appear, when I click on Print to Output I receive this message:

    Cutstudio is not found. If cutstudio is not installed, please install it. If cutstudio has never run, please run it. Then restart Adobe Illustrator.

    This error message only appears on the Windows 7 PC, I can confirm drivers…

    Please contact Cutstudio support and check for compatibility with Illustrator version. Additionally, CC 2017 was not supported on 10.13 and we have fixed lot of compatibility issues with CC 2018

  5. printing ppd changes

    I go to print a file. Select my printer preset.
    I get the error
    "The specified PPD is invalid. The default PPD will be used."
    I hit OK.
    Print window pops back up
    I manually select the printer. Hit print. I get another error that says" can't print file"
    I hit OK
    File -print again.
    I manually select the printer and the ppd to match.
    Make sure everything else. Size, placement of the file are okay. Hit Print. Then it will print.

    I tried resaving my preset, but this has not changed the issue.

    It seems like as time has…

  6. Some files (not all) print in a mirror image

    Random files will print in a mirror image. I have checked settings in my printer and it is not there. This started happening when I updated Illustrator 2 days ago

  7. some objects wont print

    I am running illustrator CC 2018 on windows 8.1
    When I print certain files certain objects will not print. I have attached an example of the result. When I print black and white it works. Another person in our company with the same update and similar computer is able to print with no problem. I was printing the same file fine before I updated to the 2018 version two days ago.

  8. Print menu resets to default when loading Pantone colour book

    Bug - Print menu resets to default when selecting a Pantone colour from any book
    This in turn causes print tiling, page size etc. to disappear. Then have to return to print dialogue and set everything back to A3, page tiling etc.

    Been persisting with this bug for over 6 months, very annoying.
