Orcad capture 17.2 all pages do not print to PDF

avant

Something changed recently. When I try to print a PDF from Orcad 17.2, all options in the panel are blank. I fill in the options and only one page will print. Reopening the schematic, all options are blank again.

If I open the schematic in 17.4, the print options are checked and all pages print.

It seems like there may be a config file for 17.2 that is corrupt and I cannot change?

Any idea what and where to look into?

    Can you share a snapshot from File > Print of version 17.2, what options are blank?

    Are you able to select Scale and Print quality or any other options in Print dialog box ?

    Can you try File > Print Preview and let me know how it is coming up?

    I can select all of the boxes, but they after closing Orcad, they are all blank again. 

    Preview shows only one printed sheet.

    I can pick one schematic sheet and print it, but not all sheets.

    I suspect there's a config file somewhere I need to fix. 

    Orcad version 17.4 works fine for me, it's just an extra hassle for me to use.

    As it may need data sharing to debug this issue, I have contacted you through separate channel of communication.

    Did you manage to resolve this yet?  I just had the same thing happened to me on my 17.2 installation which was working fine earlier in the week, but my 24.1 on the same machine is still fine.   My vendor's support suggested a few things to try to do but they're all a little drastic so I was wondering if you knew actually which one thing actually fixed it. 

    Annoyingly this is the second time it's happened to me and the first time I managed to do >something< through the UI and it started working again, but I can't for the life of me figure that out.

    It definitely seems to be somewhat environment or configuration related as it affects all designs, and those designs print fine in other versions on same machine.  Most notably the print dialog has as you say all options deselected and it doesn't save any changes you make, plus the page size instead of being selected is listed as "static" and some hxv showing at bottom instead of actual page sizes in mm.
