its very strange. I'm using a report I made myself (tweaked from another I downloaded). It has only 5 images to a page (the front cover image for each of 5 DVDs). Sometimes when I print them out, it prints solid black boxes in place of some of the art. But not all of it.

I'm usually printing a report that is filtered in some way. Eg I filter all the 'kids' tagged content then print that out. I am also printing odd/even pages so I can print double sided.

Any suggestions? All the DVDs have cover images in the actual software, and when running the reports on the PC, just not when printed. And it doesn't seem consistent - eg when I do a run of my 'HD' tagged discs, they all printed out OK. But the kids ones have some pages fine, some with half the images replaced, and some with all black.

help!

I think I recall that problem back with the old version of DVDprofiler and I think the problem was that the printer didn't have enough available memory. I don't remember exactly, this was 4-5 years ago but somebody else might know something

thanks. i remember it happened before, but its also happening with the new version.

Myprinter is a HP 2510. Its strange that it doesn't always do it though. I wonder if some of the sizes of my images is affecting it? Also happens if I just print one page or all of them. Eg the first page of my filtered kids listings always has two black images. Even if I print in draft mode.

I'll have a play with the printer settings but any other help would be appreciated

I had this problem too with v2.4 occasionaly. Problem occured when I wanted to print a report, cancelled it and than print it again. First time printing (almost) never gave any problems, sometimes the secord or third time printing after cancelling the preview these black boxes showed up. My solution to this was to close dvdpr and restart it.
Today though I print to a pdf file first because sometimes the preview showed all thumbnails correctly but the actual print sometimes had black boxes. Now I check the pdf first and when ok I print the pdf instead.
