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
Problem finally solved. Clean install without applying service pack.
But now I have another problem, I can't print to file...
It is possible to install a printer specifically to print to file. I've not tried it, but presumably its there for a reason.
In XP you would do that by:
Out ouf curiosity, why would you print to file. Thinking back in the old days, really old day, one would print to file so you could save a file to disk and directed(copied to) the file to a specific computer port (LPTI) on the existing computer, which connected to the printer. Or loaded the disk to a computer that had printers and copied the file to the print port, which printed the file. With the advent of USB ports that capibility disappeared. Or am I remembering incorrectly.
