Startup delay - witing for printer
Whenever I start PlanMaker - both by double clicking on a document, or from the start menu, it brings up the attached popup and waits for ~ 60 secs - the cancel button is not active, so I just have to wait. My printer is not normally online, but when I want to print something and switch it on, it selects and prints normally.
Re: Startup delay - witing for printer
SoftMaker Office needs to ask your printer driver for certain metrics, and your printer driver is written in a way that it cannot provide this information without communicating with the printer.
You might check if your printer driver has a setting where you can turn off bidirectional communication. If not, update your printer driver. Maybe there is a newer version that doesn't need the printer to be on.
Incidentally, this doesn't look like a SoftMaker Office dialog box. I think it comes from your printer driver.
