Bug Description
Hi,
I am using the BZR version of kicad (currently at 3844 but it has been broken for as long as I can remember) and printing either to a printer or a file just produces empty pages. The files contain some postscript header stuff but never any actual drawing data.
This is very annoying as I always like to print out my pcb designs to check the footprints and other mechanical details.
The preview window does show the pcb layers that have been selected so that much is working OK.
OS is Ubuntu 12.04.1, machine is i386 laptop with an Intel graphic card. The problem is the same when I am using a vnc X server
so I don't think it's related to the X server in use.
Cheers,
Mark

Do you get the proper output in the print preview window? If so, then something is likely broken between KiCad and the printer. I just fixed this in r3826 and it works fine on the testing version of Debian GNU/Linux with wxWidgets 2.8.12 and Windows 7 using wxWidgets 2.9.4. Please open any KiCad application and select Help->Copy Version Information then copy the contents of the clipboard to this bug report. Also include the print settings that you are using. I know there are still a few remaining rough edges when using custom scale factors.
