Default printer error

Wed, 02/07/2018 - 12:34 am

Hi all,

I am currently experiencing an error when launching Igor:
BUG: Unexpected error in CreatePrinterDC. Check print driver and printer
BUG: DriverName="WINSPOOL", driverName2="WINSPOOL", deviceName="HP LaserJet 4M", dmDeviceName="HP LaserJet 4M"
BUG: OpenMFPicture: couldn't use default printer

Igor is then pretty slow, File/Page Setup for All Graphs... doesn't work.

I am using Igor 6.37, with Windows 7 Pro 32 bits. Is there something wrong somewhere? Some tests which I could perform?

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
J-E

Try restarting your machine.

Try changing to a different default printer.

Try reinstalling your printer driver.
