Error when printing Font Table or Glyph List

[stinkykong]

This is a tech support question but I'm not getting a reply from tech support.

On Intel Mac, using Fontlab Studio 5.0.4, I have problems when I try to print out a Font Table or Glyph list.  Only partial information is displayed (glyphs only, no graph lines) and only a single row of glyphs per page so my document could be 60 pages long with a single row of glyphs at the top of each page.

Before I moved over to Mac, my Windows version worked OK.  Anyone know if this is fixable?

Never met this before. Could this be the problem with paper formats? Did you try several of them? What happens when select A4 format? What about printing to PDF?

This happens when printing to my printer or to PDF with the OS or with Acrobat 9.  The paper size is Letter (8 1/2 x 11) and does the same with A4 selected.

Then I am afraid FLS is just incompatible with your printer driver.

Thanks, Alex. I updated my driver for the HP printer and that fixed that. But printing to PDF still has the problem. I run Leopard. I'm confused by this which made me think it was not driver related in the first place.  I actually need the PDF more than the paper printout.

Now, even PDF printing is fixed, thanks to your guidance.  I changed the default printer for the OS and deleted the old printer (driver), now I get the Glyph list as expected.  Thanks for the help, Alex.
