Painter Classic "Unable to Start Print Job"

[Peter Van Meter]

Running W-98SE printing to HP Deskjet 932C. Clicking OK on above
message returns "Errors printing file" and no other info. Have
uninstalled/reinstalled printer with new drivers to no effect. Painter
is version bundled with Wacom (who gives no support, as Corel doesn't.)
Any ideas? P.S. Can print vary small images to another printer - HP
Laserjet 5P (B&W only). An average size image never printed there,
however, after a half hour of spooling . . . The 932C works fine with
other apps.

I'd be interested to hear if any Painter Classic users do have an answer to
this.

My answer is not to print with Painter. It has never worked for me.

I have QuarkXPress and print through that but I'm sure Photoshop would work,
too.

Peter and Karen,

I think it depends on what is for.

If it's for your personal use, I don't think there's any problems printing
from Painter. I have always printed my Painter RIFF files directly from
Painter in normal RGB - also when I had Painter Classic. I have always had
excellent results with my HP Deskjet 930C.

As far as I have understood, the problems start when you try to do CMYK.

For the moment, as I have no need for CMYK, I prefer doing Painter in
Painter and Photoshop in Photoshop, as I find that the screen colors of a
Painter painting change radically in Photoshop in a quite unacceptable way.
When I print a Painter painting from Painter, the print result is so close
to the screen image that I'd have difficulties seeing a difference. I set
both programs to Adobe RGB 1998, but the difference remains.

Peter, have you tried to change anything in the "Preferences" /"Windows"?
Check "free memory for printing" and uncheck "no print banding" - I read in
the Painter 6 manual that checking the latter can cause problems with HP
Deskjet printers.

Actually, I finally did the obvious - uninstalled and reinstalled Painter -
and
it worked. Ahhh . . . Windows and its apps . . . the mystery continues.

I'm glad you found the answer.

And I actually made a mistake. I DO print out through Painter Classic, all
the time. It's Painter full version whose images I bring into QuarkXPress.
