Ticket #3953 - Unable to print (0.18 final)
I've just noticed that hitting ctrl+p or using "print" in the file menu doesn't do anything anymore. No print dialog, nothing. I've included a file as an example, although all you have to do is open a new document, draw something, and try printing it. I have no problem printing in previous versions.

Re: Unable to print (0.18 final)
When you state that you had no problem printing in previous versions were they Py2Qt4 builds, because I can't find any of my old Py3Qt5 builds that this worked in?
By the way with all logging set in Report View, there are two messages when trying to print:

We are talking about printing from the 3D view, right?benjaminwharton wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:49 pm I've just noticed that hitting ctrl+p or using "print" in the file menu doesn't do anything anymore.

In these versions, the best print result I get from the 3D view is a blank page. Both TechDraw and Drawing print ok.

Yes, or even from a TechView page.

Re: Unable to print (0.18 final)
I can print or export PDF from TechDraw successfully in all the version listed above. I only have problems printing the 3D window.
Are you having problems printing from TechDraw and/or Drawing also?
Re: Unable to print (0.18 final)
Printing the 3d model view here worked with export to pdf and print preview from the file menu.
I just opened FreeCAD, new document, Part WB, default Part Cube and then File menu ... print preview (and I tried export to pdf), both seemed to work as expected.
I created a default techdraw page, inserted a top view, added a dimension, once again Export as PDF and print preview worked perfectly.

Re: Unable to print (0.18 final)
I tried TechDraw again just to be sure (and Drawing because why not) and it's the same log message that I get when trying to print the 3D view (QPrintDialog: Cannot be used on non-native printers)wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 12:24 pmI can print or export PDF from TechDraw successfully in all the version listed above.

Re: Unable to print (0.18 final)
OK, that's a different problem - I don't get that message.benjaminwharton wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 3:15 pm I tried TechDraw again just to be sure (and Drawing because why not) and it's the same log message that I get when trying to print the 3D view (

I found a few posts on the internet about "cannot be used on non-native printers" but nothing specific to Win10. The resolution seems to be to move to a newer Qt5.x.
