Title: Lightroom locked
Post by: ChristenHansen on January 27, 2008, 09:23:43 am

Yesterday I activated the Print module in Lightroom and after that I have a warning box with a yellow triangle and the word "nil" on the screen.
Lightroom is completely blocking my laptop.
I have tried reinstalling, and v.1.1 are running, but not v.1.3.1.
Can anyone help, please?

What OS?

There is a bug in the Lightroom 1.3 Print Module that can cause the application to crash on either OS X 10.5 or 10.5.1.  Minimizing the template preview in the upper left corner can help reduce the frequency of this issue.

Are you on Mac? Perhaps this is you issue.

My OS is Windows XP. From Lightroom 1.3.1. I went down to v.1.3, and after that Lightroom was OK.
But I have not touched the print module again, so I don´t know if the bug you mentioned, only live in the latest version.
I don´t think that the latest version is necessary for Windows users. Is this correct?
Thank´s for your answer.

Hmmm   I don't know.  I am also running on XP and LR 1.3.1 without that issue.  Check to see if the Print issue still lives in 1.3 for you.  If not, then I'd stick with that until the next update and see what happens.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I have had that problem with 1.3.1 running Windows Vista. The problem was in the set-up of the printer. I don't remember all the details. But check that your printer is correctly set-up!

I'm running 1.3.1 on Vista, no issues . . . what is your system "default" printer?

My printer (Epson) has never been connected to my laptop. I just activated the Print module in Lightroom to show my daughter its possibillities.
Then I went back working in Library and Lightroom was still OK. But later when I opened LR, it crashed.
For now I am running v. 1.3 with no problems.
 V.1.3.1 should be a bug fix, but instead it carried a new bug.
