Thanks for confirming. Has anyone else previously experiencing problems with the new print features tried again?

Are there any details associated with the error you are seeing?

All printing order and options will be the same on PC and iOS in the next version. The use of rich colours is now an option respected across all print output, and includes the header colours.

Thanks. I've produced another build which dumps a whole load of debug text to your My Documents\SkyDemon folder in a file called printdebug.txt.

I am hoping that this will reveal what is going wrong and allow us to fix it. It's probably something to do with the printing environment you've got there, but whatever it is, it certainly shouldn't be taking down the whole app. Please post the output in that file here or email it to me whenever you've got it. It might also allow you to fiddle around with your Page Setup (in the briefing pack window if it opens with an error) in order to change something to make it work.

I'm uploading the beta build now.

Thanks, that does help. I've put in checks and mitigations for that exception, but will await debug output from today's beta (which is live now) before uploading a new one.

I suspect maybe some "default" printer on your system is passing us a very small page size, so small that our printing engine is giving up, but not as gracefully as it should be.

That file indicates two successful print jobs, both with normal-looking print margins, so that's confusing. A new beta has just been uploaded which handles the error you posted earlier, and may result in more success.

If it still doesn't work perhaps you could post a screenshot or two?

Thanks. I think we've finally found what's up here, and will publish a new beta presently addressing the issue (and others).

Thanks, Tim.
With the new PC beta, creation of briefing package works flawlessly. No issue at all.

Sorry Pete, your error message screenshot is the size of a postage stamp and I can't make anything out from it.
