XPS printing error

J

Joe-Al

I have converted a VISIO 2007 document to XPS format after installing the
ADDIN. Although the document displays correctly, I have the following
challenges

1. Printing or converting to ADOBE takes 10 Min. as there seems to be an
issue somewhere

2. When the document finally prints on my RICOH 2045e PCL6, ALL text on the
Drawings is printing over itself and all screwed up.

Any others having the same issues or a fix?

Hi Joe-Al,

I'm not clear on the Adobe (PDF?) inclusion if you're saving as MS XPS. You may want to also post this to the Office Visio
discussion group (link below) and explain a bit more there about the way things are printing and if the same Visio document prints
correctly to a PDF, MS Office Document Imaging writer or standard printer.

THx Bob,

The only reason I tried to convert the XPS to PDF is because I wanted to SEE
how the printouts were printing. I sometimes use Acrobat PDF conversions to
see how printing will look. None of printers were printing correctly so I
used PDF conversion as a form of comfirmation of the error. If I try to print
to MS Doc Writer, it too, displays horrible errors.

As it goes, if I used Acrobat PDF to convert a printout directly from VISIO
it works. So I feel its not a VISIO issue. There is something definitely
wacky about how XPS documents are PRINTING. The conversion to XPS was OK, its
the printing of the XPS document thats the issue.

Of course I have several other test to do, or I could just say: "Not ready
for primetime" or at least for business effeciency.

I had problem printing PDF and XPS to my Brother printers (more than one).
The document shows up fine on screen, both PDF and XPS. However, when I
printed it to my printer, it shows us with wierd charaters instead of English
characters.

Anyone encountered this problem?
