I'm running XP SP2. My printer is an HP 1210v, if that makes a difference.

I hadn't known that SP3 was available (windows update hadn't notified me it existed since my dozenth version of the validation tool hadn't been installed). Unfortunately, the print preview still doesn't work after updating that.

The print preview option from the menu and the print preview button within the print dialog just don't seem to do anything - I tried it while watching the performance graph in task manager, and there was no evidence of anything happening when I tried a print preview.

Print preview doesn't do anything from d20, WoD, or M&M (and my d20 and WoD files are licensed), but print works from d20 and WoD.

Print preview works for me, all game systems. I'm running WinXP SP2.

I updated my secondary license on my laptop, and Print Preview works there. Also XP SP2. Still nothing on the primary machine, though. Weird.

One thing to not that print preview in windows depends on driver files of the printer you are currently using. making it especially difficult to create a print preview for ever printer on the market, so it may be that just a few driver files for specific printers are having issue with the print preview feature.

Printpreview just broke on me also. XP Professional.

It's working for me. XP Home.

Print Preview worked fine for me until I updated to Hero Lab 2.1. I tried Print Preview with both old d20 portfolios and a brand new d20 portfolio after restarting Hero Lab. I tried both Print Preview from the File menu and the Preview button in the Print Portfolio pop up, and nothing seems to trigger a visible preview.

I am currently running Windows XP SP 3 and have the latest drivers for HP LaserJet 2100 and HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One. The laser jet is the default printer, but I also tried setting the ink jet as default with no luck either.

By the way, I check the Windows Task Manager and nothing new starts up when I try print preview. Since I never really checked with a previous version of Hero Lab, I don't know whether this is normal. CPU usage did briefly go from 0% to 1% (which could easily be attributed to using the menu). Hope that helps.
