Hi,

does the problem exist for shaded views only? The this might help

Below this registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\Solid Edge\Version 102\DEBUG

insert a new key (when not there)

name: PrinterPlgBlt
Type: Dword
Value: 1     (the value can be either 0 or 1)

and see whether it solves. (I think in V100 and below the value was set
to 1 when the key was missing from the DEBUG section)

Problem solved! Thank you donyoung

RE: How to print in color

glad that I could help.
With V100 and below I had to insert the key with a value of 0.
Now I can delete this they and printing is still OK. So I think
they changed the default to 0 which might lead to problems with
those printers that did work before. This 'switch' has something
to do with a technique called 'Bit Masking' to avoid overprinting
of views were one view area hides the other. But not all printer
driver can handle this ...
