I've been having a problem with the char gen. It works fine up to trying to print a character. At this point it either indicates that there is some problem and won't pring OR prints blank pages.

Any thoughts....

TO be honest, I don't remember. I run it a few times tonight to see if I can get the message again. It doesn't always give a message. More frequently it just prints blank pages.

Otherwise a superb program.

Bizarre, I have not come across that before. I suspect it possibly doesn't like the printer driver. Try downloading a newer driver from your printers homepage (if there is one), and you might also try setting up a generic driver to the same printer and printing to that to see if that works.

I'll give that a try. It is an old printer, but I haven't had problems otherwise (say in word). I couldn't bring up the error message again. Thanks....

Blank Fields for skills and Missing items

Recently looked over the character sheets printed through the Character Gen

and Noticed a Blank space for the last 1-10 Skills' Names with just Numbers next to them.

It would look like this at the bottom of the list:
Skills SR Tests
Traps [7] [][][]
Nothing [5] [][][]
Nothing [6] [][][]

Not a big problem, it's not too much to look up the Character Gen and write in the skills...just thought you'd like to know.
Some characters print out just fine, some miss one or two, some 5 or more

It's also obviously missing space for lengthy item lists.
:)
But that's what the Backs of pages are for right?

Always the same skills whose names get blanked out, or different ones?
