QR Code not printing?

[chriscK8R5W]

Trying to print a QR code on a layout sheet and it is not printing. Any ideas on how to fix?

I have tried two different printers , everyone else in office does not have this issue. I have changed layers and still nothing . It does show up in the print preview as it should but it will not printout on paper.

1) "printing" to what drivers and versions and settings please?

2) What is the QRcode source, is it a block on an image or...?

3) What are the other users using for drivers or PC3 files? Likely different from yours it would appear since you state it shows up in preview.

4) Can you PLOT to a PDF and get it?

TIA

2) What is the QRcode source, is it a block on an image or...? It is coming in as mtext being shown in the properties. The same as the others who are not having the issue.

3) What are the other users using for drivers or PC3 files? Likely different from yours it would appear since you state it shows up in preview. I will have to look into this a little more

4) Can you PLOT to a PDF and get it? Plotting to PDF does not work . The QR code does not appear in PDF

TIA

Hi @chriscK8R5W 

Please be more forthcoming. Would it be possible to upload some screenshots?

1. Your plot dialog window that fails. 
   
2. Print preview of the ‘failed’ plot job. 
   
3. Screenshot of a successful plot job. 
   
4. Any other misc. or pertinent screenshots.

Ah, you have a font handling problem: your drivers are NOT set exactly like everyone else, they must have FONTS being other copied or printed as images, or something similar.

To test in your PDF driver, do one of these:

It does plot to pdf this time as you show

Great: now you just have to figure out where those settings are in your other drivers and use them. Good luck.
