I am trying to print a Print Shop 22 Deluxe project that I put a radiant glow on (and one other effect). Although the effects show up on the print preview, when I print, I get the plain project without the effects. I have tried all the fixes listed in tech support, and nothing works. The printer is a Lexmark All-in-one X1270. Does anyone know what the problem is? I sure appreciate any help I can get. I have worked hours on this.
Thanks,
Janis

It could be that there's "too much information" for your printer to handle, so I would try to simplify your project so the printer driver can do its thing. If my suggestions don't work, perhaps it's the printer driver itself that needs to be updated.

Reducing the number of layers on a project always simplifies things for a printer, so...

Select all your graphics and group as one graphic.

If that alone doesn't do it, select this one large graphic and export it as a high res JPG. Resave your project under a different name. Delete the grouped graphic and replace it with the newly created JPG. Layer it to the back if you have text boxes that need to be on top. Now it will definitely print OK with the radiant glow because the glow is no longer a separate element - the JPG is one complete graphic.


Alternative:

Select all and group as one element. Print to the PDF printer. Close PrintShop. Open your new PDF with Adobe Reader and print from there. The disadvantage of this is that the text will not be sharp if your PDF convertor rendered the text as part of the image instead of embedding the fonts.
