Can't Print; Print Preview looks good

bobbates49-cmyK
I’m a new user. I can’t PRINT anything. I’ve set paper size, and everything suggested, and I get a blank paper when I hit print. I have followed the LibreCad User Manual and LibreCad for Real Dummies instructions with no success. LibreCAD Version: 2.2.0.2.

I believe I am failing to enter or set up something. So far, I do not have ‘Print to File” checked. My drawings do not have title blocks/drawing borders. I have calculated the Scale Factor. In Print Preview, I have moved the “Paper” over the design to print. Looks good. Click Print. Select Landscape. Print to file is Off. Let the app change my printing preferences is unclicked. Click Print, message says “Paper size and/or margins have been changed! Do you want to apply changes to current drawing?”; I have said Yes and next time No, still blank page.

Thanks in advance for looking at this.
Bob

Thank you. Installed V 2.2.1.2
Some success!
Print worked but the print was in portrait view when I had selected landscape in drawing preferences.

I don't think it is the operating system as I can print from all other applications. TY.
The image is fine in Print Preview on the 11x8.5 landscape paper.

10/22/25 DXLI Good morning. DXLI I sent an email to you but it did not go through.

Installed V 2.2.1.2 Some success! Print worked but the print was in portrait view when I had selected landscape in drawing preferences. The image is fine in Print Preview on the 11x8.5 landscape paper space. Any other suggestions?

I tried to get a print via Adobe. Clicked on Print; print to file and the print file gets a “PRN” extension not a “PDF” extension. Adobe does not open the “PRN” extension.
Thank you,
Bob Bates
