Hi, I have problem with printing one score (and it parts). When I chose "print", nothing happens - command isn't send to printer. It's the same with "print to file" - nothing happens. My printer is ok, printing is working on every other score, on every other program and even on every printer, problem is in this one score.

I had made experiment with deleting everything from score and trying to print blank page but still nothing. I thought it might be something with margins - I changed them and still nothing.
Oh, and one more thing - printing was working at the begging of work with this unlucky score.

I have vista with all updates and Finale 2010 with zero updates
Anyone can help? And sorry for mistakes in my english :)

Have you tried restarting your computer?

If you suspect the document to be corrupted, create a new one, and copy and paste everything into it.
(PS : you could also update to 2010b, it fixes many bugs, although I haven't seen any mention of problems related to printing).

Ok, I've solved the problem.
Reason is very serious: I'm an idiot. :D

I'm using new version of Finale for a short time (I was using 2006) and I didn't noticed that is something like "copies" in printing window. And "copies" was set to "0". Damn, wasted few hours!!

Glad it was something so simple!

If it isn't the hardware, and it isn't the software, it's probably the wetware!
