Hi,
I've got CorelDRAW Home & Student Suite X5 with SP1 installed on my Win7 x64 PC. My printer is Samsung SCX-3205 and drivers are updated to the latest version.
When I select print in DRAW it won't print - it only prints to file (DRAW can't open the .prn file afterwards, it crashes or gives me an error message or both). I simply can't get it to print directly to printer.
Print works just fine in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 and I had never problems with printing my files directly from DRAW in any previous version.
Any help appreciated.
Dan
Thank you both, unfortunately there's no such option in this version. I checked that before posting my question of course.

Go to the "advanced" tab and check if the "print to file" option is enabled.
There is no "Print to file" option in the whole print setup, that's the thing. I don't understand it either. Never seen anything like it.
You posted the printer setup from the printer driver, while you should examine the print setup found inside of CorelDRAW. This may be the reason that you could not find the "Print to File" check box in your printer setup.
When in DRAW, on the menu: File->Print, and when that dialog comes up, check there for the "Print to File" check mark.
Hugh, that IS print dialog of CorelDRAW, not printer driver. Not kidding!
I too have the H & S edition of X5 and my print window looks exactly the same as Daniels looks. However I do have a check box for 'Print File Information' under the advanced tab. Is that the same thing???
No Mayfly, it is not actually.
By the way I used Corel for years (10, maybe more) so I'm familiar with it. I had professional versions throughout the years - this X5 is my second Home edition along with X4 - which not only works and prints fine but has the same set of print features as pro version does. Big dissapointment this X5.
