Hi,

We have problems to print on this (and only this) printer using method PrintWithWpf. The printer has the latest drivers available and other applications has no problem to print on this printer (including MS Office, PDF Reader, etc.). When we print using method Print, everything works (except the RTF which is little distorted, as on any other printer). But when we try to print using method PrintWithWpf, the printer get stuck on "Printing document" and can't finish the job (or even print a single character) and has to be shut down using OFF/ON button. Until that, any other attempt to print from any application will fail. The same result is, when we try to print from Print Preview (using method ShowWithWpf).

The problem can be reproduced easily from Stimulsoft Wpf Demo app (trying to print any report on the specified printer).

This printer use PCLmS driver. I also have problem with printers that use this driver (HP MFP 125A, MFP 126). Here is solution for portrait reports.
