Printing in 2003 with 2004 installed

Has anybody run into problems printing drawings in 2003 with 2004 SP0 installed? For me on single sheet drawings 2003 prints an iso view of the solid and nothing else. To get the drawing I have to export it as a pdf (a capability 2003 didn't have until 2004 was installed).

As a side note to pdf printing being enabled in 2003 and 2004, I really don't want Blue Beam on my machine. It has known bugs.

When you say both installed do you mean SW2003 and SW2004? Which OS? What kind of installs.

Isn't the BlueBeam pdf writer something SW installed? I didn't install it and it first appeared after installing SW2004. Blue Beam is on the list of SW licences.

The issue is that a s> I never noticed a printing issue with both installed. Perhaps your

Yeas, both 2003 and 2004. I have 2003sp4 and 2004sp0 both running, on XP. As for Bluebeam, yes it was 2004 that put it there, and it gets "implemented" into 2003 because of it. Don't know if they wanted it to work that way...

I don't have the hardcopy print problem. But come to think of it, I reinstalled my 2003 after 2004. This is when I discovered that I had to completely kill 2003 because once you put 2004 on there with it's Windows Installer, a Traditional installed 2003 will become a "Windows Installer"ed all by itself once you put Disk 1 in there...

I'd try reloading the hardcopy printer driver again as a simple first step. Of course, it might make the Bluebeam stuff not work anymore...
