We recently upgraded from CorelDRAW 12 to X4. I discovered today that while printing to one of our printers, parts of the rendering do not show up and it is followed by a printed error message:

ERROR: rangecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: shfill

STACK:

-dictionary-
[8.33333 0.0 0.0 -8.44444 0.0 5100.0 ]

 

This is a postscript printer, and I followed advice I found on other forums to adjust the Postscript level - none of the 3 levels would print correctly. Printing the exact same file from 12 does not cause problems, nor does converting the file to a PDF and printing from Acrobat.

It seems to only happen in X4 with this particular postscript printer. Any ideas?

Can you post a CDR that comtains just the offending object?

David Milisock

File is attached. It was made in X4 but saved in 12 format so we can open it on our CD12 machines. Prints fine when opened in CD12. The particular part that is not printing are the two top rectangles (approach side view and right side view). Thank you!

I successfully printed the file on PDFCreator and my low end HP 1200 BW laser printer. Can't comment on the issue you are facing. Let's wait for feedback from someone else.

What are are you printing on that is 352" wide?  Are you tiling or reducing?

There is somethig seriously wrong with this file the page dimensions are just wrong.

David Milisock

That's a valid point; I didn't notice that. I'm going to check with the graphic artists on Monday to see why in the world they're using those dimensions, and we will try to reprint it at a smaller size.

Any idea why it will print fine when opening the file from CD12?

The reason the document is so large is because they adjust the scale options. These are buildings, so they need to have the drawing to scale.

Even if I paste the contents of the file into a normal 8.5 x 11 file, it still won't print that part

My PDF driver had no problems

David Milisock

I don't have any problems printing to a PDF printer either. Or to any other printer on our network. Just this printer. Normally I would think its a printer problem, but CorelDRAW 12 prints to the SAME printer on the same computer with the same driver just fine.

I did narrow it down a little bit - it seems any file we have a square fountain fill causes the problem. Conical, radial, and linear fills do not cause any problems, and we print square fills from CD12 without a problem
