Views on drawing not printing

[drawoh]

I am trying to print some drawings. The title blocks and the dimensions print okay, but not the drawing itself.

It appears to be happening with page_1 of multiple sheets. The subsequent sheets print okay. My problem is with two drawings, both attached to the same model. I have tried hitting the update button and CTRL-Q.

Does anybody know what to do here?

had the same thing here, it was a graphics card issue here. Try right clicking on the windows screen, click properties,settings,advanced,troubleshoot and keep lowering your hardware acceleration until it prints correctly. you can just do a print preview and see if it will print as well. If it's the same problem I had then this will take care of it.

Does the print preview look OK?

Have you upgraded SW, the video card driver or your printer recently?

CorBlimeyLimey,

The print preview was blank, the same as printout.

I tried to follow rikonen's suggestion, but I was not allowed to change video settings.

Then, things got more interesting. Our system administrators went through our computers a few months ago and locked down all our C: drives. For reasons unrelated to SolidWorks, they unlocked mine, and now my printing problems have done away.

I did follow rikonen's advice about video settings. It worked. I set the video back and it continued working.

I assume it will stop working when they lock everything down again.
