Tried printing today from FM to Xerox WorkCentre  70225, and got an error message saying it was incompatible. Has anyone else seen that?Is it merely some weird one-off with this printer model?

Thanks!

ACP, I can't get your link to work.

techcomm.tools/pdf with or without the /pdf.


Odd, it's working for me, but here's the long link http://techcommtools.com/framemaker-pdf-tips-and-tricks/

Incompatible in what way? Does it not have the correct drivers installed?

I looked for a xerox driver that works with FM, but found nothing specific. I know I've printed from FM to all kinds of printers over the years, including Xerox, and never hit this before.

The best, most predictable plan is to always print to Adobe PDF, then use Reader or Acrobat to send to printer.

I'm laughing a bit. The only reason I haven't printed to PDF is that I keep getting the error message that the file is invalid, and forums say it's because of internal security on the PDF images I imported by reference. I'm desperate enough to print from FM then scan the pages into PDF.

Which is why I'm asking. ;-)

If on Windows 10, ensure you're completely up-to-date.

Then follow all the recommendations I mention at techcomm.tools/pdf. This should solve your problem.
