I have been unable to print my recipes after upgrading to BeerSmith 2.2 (previous version printed fine). The print window come up but the preview pane is blank and I get a blank page printed. I am running version 2.2.12 on a Mac. Can someone suggest a fix? Didn't see this topic posted.

Printing issue
- Thread starter bdhummel

Just figured out that if I go to the File menu - Print Preview, the recipe preview shows up. Then, with the print preview window open, if I click on the print button, the recipe shows up and prints.
I also checked my web browsers for updates. Both my Firefox and Safari appear to be up to date (no updates available).

I also have the printing issue mentioned here. I can get the Print Preview window to show what is supposed to be printed, but that only works ONE TIME. Then, I have to shut down BeerSmith, and reload it, to get it to print again. Otherwise, bringing up the Print window shows a blank page, which is indeed what is 'printed'. Is there a bug in the program that needs to be smashed, or am I somehow doing something wrong?

I can get as far as the red text but at that point I see a blank window and none of the buttons at the top work (can't even click them though their tool-tips still show). Really wish we could get some kind of official response or at least acknowledgement of this issue.

I'm also have the same issue. I can do a File > Print Preview and see a preview of the recipe. But if I try to print the recipe, the print window is blank as well as the actual print out. Running a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.5, BeerSmith 2.2.12. Has anyone figured out how to resolve this issue?

I too am having a very similar issue, blank page on screen but nothing prints. Printer never gets a command to print anything. I also printed something out of MS Word just to be sure the printer driver for Windows 10 was see the printer. That worked fine. I just printed a recipe a few week ago just fine, after the Windows 10 upgrade. Not sure what changed in BS.
Also, I upgraded phones and I noticed BS mobile is not on my phone anymore. Can't seem to find a way to get it back. Do I have to buy it again or is there a way to port it over somehow?
???

I just wanted to report back and let those know that I figured out how to get my particular system, Beer Smith, and Windows 10 to print.
I have a Canon printer and even thought my printer drivers were only about a month old, I checked the support page on Canon's site and found newer drivers. After installing those, my printing problem went away. Not sure If I just lucked out or what, but I thought I would share.
I have a similar issue, running Widows 7 Ultimate. I can see the print preview of the brew steps, but when I click 'Print' all I get is a blank page. It's been doing this ever since version 2.2 came out.
I seem to recall I was told that it had to do with Windows Explorer not being updated. I have updated to the most recent version, but still no luck printing.
Anyone know how to make Beersmith print recipes?! I'm about to find some different software.
