printing to pdf, printer

[joga]

Hallo,
leider bekomme ich meine Zeichnung weder
auf Papier gedruckt (Druckvorschau schon leer),
noch als .pdf ( Datei ist leer)
noch über Bildinhalt speichern auf .bmp (Dateiinhalt schwarz)
Hab ich etwas an Voreinstellung vergessen ?

hello
I cannot print my drawing on paper (printpreview emtpy)
as pdf. (file is empty)
nor as .bmp (filecontent black)
did I forget some settings ?

regards
Joachim

You posted to the Python scripting forum. Do you want to print from a Python program? What did you try?

This was a known issue with FreeCAD 0.18 compile with former Qt5 when having an Intel GPU.
Could you please :
* Give your version info as described in the red banner of the 'Help o FreeCAD' subforum ?
* Try with FreeCAD 0.19 ?

Hello,
I use version 0.18 revision 4(gitTag), released 19.10.2019, 64 bit on windows10
in the part workbench I modelled a cube and measurements, nothing complicated
when I try printing preview, its empty - blank
the .pdf file is blank
I generate a .bmp file and the content is just black
I closed the file and loaded it again into FreeCAD - no difference
tried it in different workbenches like part, draft, drawing, techdraw, image - the same
what do I need to do ? later I would like to be able to print more advanced models
Regards
Joachim

I told it above. Download the latest release (version 0.19) and install. It should be fine
