Printing Issues on Canon imagePROGRAF Large Format Printers (Mac OSX )

NOTE: This fix is for Mac OSX 10.6 ONLY. The printer is currently not supported by Canon on OSX 10.7 Lion, and this procedure will not be possible on that OS.

A number of users may come across problems printing from Vectorworks to Canon's imagePROGRAF line of large format printers. This problem may include missing text, incorrect scaling and randomly disappearing geometry.

Normally the issue is not present when the user attempts to Export to PDF instead, but then can become apparent again when trying to print that PDF from Preview or Adobe Reader.

(This is primarily an issue with the Canon print drivers in Mac OSX 10.6)

This may be corrected by going to the File > Print > Printer Settings in Vectorworks, then under the Main menu, in the Advanced Settings tab, uncheck the option for "Fast Graphics Process"
