Hangs every time I try to print

[joelpresence]

Overall, this app is OK. Its output looks decent, and it’s free, which is nice.

However, it crashes EVERY TIME I try to print. If I use the File => Print menu item, then I get a modal alert window saying “Printing Not Allowed” and “This application is not allowed to print. Please contact your application vendor for an update.” Then the app hangs and beachballs and locks up and I need to force quit it.

Ummm, OKKKK … What am I supposed to do with this? If the app can’t print, then remove the File => Print option from the menu. Or else fix print. But don’t hang everytime I try to print. This severely compromises usability and makes me not want to use this otherwise good app.

Please fix ASAP! If you fix printing, I’ll happily update my review to reflect this … Thanks.

I'm on macOS 10.12.3.

On 10.12.6 I see the "not allowed to print" dialog and there is some beachball for far longer (ie, more than 0) than it should take after clicking OK on a warning dialog. However it does clear within a few seconds.

So, unacceptable but not at the level of needing a force quit for me.

10.12.6 here, needed to force quit

This is due to a change in the permissions required for printing on OS-X. I've run into it on several older apps. The developer needs to update the way the app calls the print engine.

The app is currently being rewritten in the markoff-2 branch. New printing APIs were added to Big Sur as well.

#8 since it's the original issue.
