Its a local printer. Ive never had any problems with any other sortware and the canon in the past. Ill check and see if there are fresh drivers available for the printer, its quite a new model but there maybe an update. As far as the video issue Para, im not so sure that its my on board video. Ive never had a problem with rendering images, and somehow even if i open another program to fill the screen, then switch back to bobcad its still basically white with no toolbars etc.(only after attempting to print) And Im up to V 20.5 but that gives me an idea. Im going to run my old 19.8 and see if I get different results with my problems. Thanks for the responses, maybe someday ill hear from a "bobcad" guy
