Anyone having issues with Mathcad 14 printing in windows 10?

After a harware upgrade, I've installed MathCAD 14 on a windows 10 machine.

Printing worked at first, but doesn't anymore. (Nothing appears at printer, and M/S print to pdf produces corrupt files; but other apps are OK).

Circumstantial evidence from the dates suggests that the Windows Updates KB3149135 or KB3163018 of 16th June could be responsible.

Has anyone else experienced this? (I've posted on the M/S forum too)

Thanks

1. A good alternative for standard PDF printer (like Adobe PDF) can be a "CutePDF": CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer


2. Try to install the latest version of .NET Framework 4.6/4.6.1 (link:.NET Framework 4.6 - Search Microsoft.com ).

3. Is there any chance for you to install the latest Mathcad 15 M045 service release (unless you allow it your license)? You can find it here: Thank You for Your Interest in PTC Mathcad 15 | PTC otherwise upgrade to the latest service release of Mathcad 14 M035, here on "PTC Software Download" section:

Was Winodws!

I tried reinstalling Mathcad twice; 1st time no dice; 2nd time blue screen!

After windows had unatngled its nickers, installed some more updates, and recovered its composure, it started printing my Mathcad documents again.

Fixed!
