I have a problem with our new printer. I am able to print PDF documents, but whenever I select something from MLS to print all I get is blank pages. The printer was installed correctly and the name of the printer even shows when I select the print icon, it's just not printing anything.
Any ideas?
MLS not printing

Can you print from MLS to a PDF? Is the PDF ok?

To print to PDF, you install a PDF print driver such as CutePDF. Printing to such a PDF printer can be helpful in troubleshooting, because if you can successfully print to PDF, then the application that is printing is probably fine, and the problem is more likely with the print driver for the actual printer.

I had assumed you had CutePDF installed on the PC. It is part of the utilities that can be found at mls.lds.org.
I think it's worth pointing out that MLS frequently prints as a graphic image - not as text. As such, it can put a different demand on the printer then other
programs.

I noticed a large number of negative reviews. It seems there's a disruptive toolbar that's been added to the app and attempts to avoid it are not always successful.

I guess we have different opinions. The CutePDF save dialog is straightforward -- just save the file. The PDFCreator save dialog is much more complicated. It's more powerful, with options to combine print jobs into a single PDF, but that complexity is confusing for some people. And I've also been annoyed by the toolbar that PDFCreator tries to install.
