I have a multi-sheet Microsoft Excel Document with charts on separate pages. When I print the entire workbook to Print-2-Image, I only get the last few pages of my document. Why?

When Excel encounters a page where the format changes from chart to worksheet or worksheet to chart, it sends a new print job to the printer. If you have autofilename enabled on your Print-2-Image properties, only the last print job will be included in your output file because each print job will overwrite the previous one.

 

In later versions of Print-2-Image (6.0.0.122 or higher), this problem may be avoided by checking the "Automatic Sequential Number" box in the Print-2-Image properties screen under the File Options tab.

Microsoft Word hangs after I print to Print-2-Image. How can I fix this?

Microsoft Word has a default feature called Background Printing, which pushes any printer dialog boxes to Microsoft Word’s background during printing. When Print-2-Image is set to Manual File Naming, a "Save As" windows will pop up and require input in order for printing to continue.

 

If Microsoft Word is sized and positioned correctly, the Print-2-Image "Save As" window will be hidden behind the Microsoft Word window. To resolve this issue, perform the following:

  • Disable Background Printing in Microsoft Word by clicking Tools > Options > Print and making sure that the Background Printing box is unchecked OR by going to File > Print and clicking the Options button, then un-checking the Background Printing box.
  • Change your Print-2-Image print mode to Automatic File Naming.

How do I set up multiple user printing on Windows Server, or use the .ini file instead of the registry?

To set up multi-user printing from one computer you will have to disable Microsoft’s IniFileMapping for Print-2-Image. To disable the IniFileMapping follow these instructions:

  • Open up the registry editor. (If you are not familiar with the registry, then it is suggested that you have someone complete this process for you.)
  • Go to the following location in your registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\

  • Delete the folder in this directory named: p2image.ini and close the registry editor.
  • Print once using Print-2-Image and a p2image.ini file will be created in the WINNT folder and will now be used by all users on this workstation.

Error: "Print job failed, Faxil error: -10." What caused this error and how do I fix it?

This error is caused by Print-2-Image being unable to access or move a file during the print process.

 

There are three solutions for this error:
