Printing problems
Hi, I recently purchased GP6 and run it on a macbook pro running OSX snow leopard.
I have a serieus issue with printing from GP.
If I goto file>print my printer (Xerox phaser 6110) prints out something that looks like a score sheet, but the numbers on the tabs (for finger position) have disappeared just like the title, chord diagrams etc. etc.
The same thing happens when I print to PDF or if press preview from the print menu.
Now here is the strange thing. If I export from GP to a PDF all seems to work fine.
I'm completely puzzled as to what may be the problem, I hope one of you can help me out. I Purchased GP mainly for editing and printing tabs I download from the net. Not having a decent printing functionality thus basically makes this program useless to me...
Any thoughts are highly appreciated, thanks!

Re: Printing problems
I am still on Leopard, so it's difficult to compare; but everything works fine for me.
Is your GP version up to date? There were known issues with printing, and the last version supposedly addressed them...
Did you check the stylesheet settings? (You probably did, but I can't really think of anything else at this point).
I think that GP does its own PDF generation and does not use the native Mac OS X PDF driver (because PDF is only native on Mac, not on windows or Linux). This might explain why you get a correct PDF out of GP but not when you print. But I may be wrong here.
Please report this to Arobas directly. Their support team is unfortunately not always very responsive, but at least they will be aware of the problem.
