P: crashes when printing (user error involved)

[loonsailor]

Issue: 

• Lightroom Version Number:  Classic 11.1
• OS Version Number: MacOS 12.0.1
• Printer: Epson P800, driver version 20

Printing crashes LR when parameters are set wrong

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select 1 image and enter the Print module
2. Select Printer (bottom right button) to bring up the printer panel
3. In Printer panel, set to print, say, pages 2-5 (where only 1 image has been brought into the print module).
4. (This can happen accidentally if the previous print run included more than 1 image)

Expected result: Either an error message, or the print module should reset the printer panel if there are fewer images in the panel than are referred to in the panel.
Actual result: LR crashes.

First thing to try when LR crashes is resetting your Lightroom preferences:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

Quit Lightroom Classic.
MacOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

Thanks, dd.  I eventually fixed it by simply correcting the page count (set it to "all" instead of selected pages), though that was after crashing it a few times until I noticed the discrepancy.  Clearly, it's operator error and easy to correct once noticed.  I filed the bug report just as a courtesy, because it shouldn't have crashed, but rather thrown an error message.  A very low priority bug, but I'd consider it a bug nonetheless.

BTW, the page range spec in the printer panel was wrong because it had persisted from the last time that I'd used the Print module.  So, it's an easy mistake to make, and it took a while to notice, at least for me, because one doesn't usually look at the page range spec when printing a single image.  I guess if I'd used the "print" button instead of "printer", I wouldn't have even seen the panel with the fatal page range spec.

I can duplicate this BUG.  Lightroom crashed.  Crash report sent to Adobe.

I haven't been able to locate any crash reports under either of your email addresses. Did you use an email other than that you've used in this forum?

[Bob Somrak]

@Rikk Flohr: Photography 

I reproduced this again and resent the Crash Report.  I probably didn't send my email the first time.  I also saved it as a text file in case you need me to send it to you directly.

I noticed an oddity.  I tried this using a JPG this morning and it didn't crash but I tried it on the RAW I used last time and it produced the crash.

Than you for this, I was going nuts with it crashing and didn't realize that I had that exact issue in step 3 above. No more crashes for me.

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

We’ve reviewed the email address you use (Bob & loonsailer) with this forum and find no crash reports in our system.

Did you see a crash dialog?

Do you use a different email address when filling out the crash report?

Was the crash dialog Adobe’s? Microsoft’s? Apple’s?

I definately sent it to Adobe the second time I tried.  I saved it as a text file so here it is.

If you want me to send the Text file to someone at ADOBE please PM me where you want it sent with their address.

The recipe to produce this crash is fairly easy.  Recreating the FULL scenario the OP posted is not necessary.

1 Select ONE RAW file

2 In the print module select PRINTER button

3 On Mac, change Pages in the dialog from ALL to FROM 3 to 4

4 Click Print in the DIALOG

Result:  Crash

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

I was able to reproduce with Bob's instructions and crash report. I have logged it with the team. Thanks for the help. 

[thedigitaldog]

Bob is correct, it crashes when I try what he explains (change Pages in the dialog from ALL to FROM 3 to 4). I have a crash log now, but anyone at Adobe or elsewhere should be able to produce this crash.
