DeannaL 4 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Is anyone else having the issue of Evernote not printing after the latest update? I am on version: 10.53.2-win-ddl-public (3935) Editor: v165.2.20482 Service: v1.65.0 © 2019 - 2023 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved And it just keeps spooling and spooling, then I get a message pop-up to relaunch Evernote. I've also tried printing to a PDF and that is not working either. Image below for error that I am getting. Any help or insights would be appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted February 17, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I'm on the same version, and I'm not seeing this. Something may have gone wrong with the update. If you haven't yet, try just rebooting the computer. If that doesn't fix it, try uninstalling Evernote and reinstalling. That will require a little time to rebuild your notes database.

DeannaL 4 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I've rebooted my computer and I've also tried downgrading to a previous version, but that does not seem to be helping either. I'm wondering if it's an issue with my version of windows? I've recently updated to the latest version of Windows. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted February 17, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted February 17, 2023 I did a quick test print to PDF which worked without any issues in Win 11. Have you tried exporting the note to PDF rather than printing it? Link to comment
DeannaL 4 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Ah, no. I didn't realise that was an option. I've always just printed directly to my printer. It's a bit annoying though, since that's going to be a 2-step process just to print a copy of the note. But yes, export to PDF seems to work fine. Thank you for the tip. I'll do that for now. 1 Link to comment
Solution DeannaL 4 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted February 17, 2023 Turns out it's note specific, and it was because of the embedded YouTube link in the note that was showing up as a preview based on my default note settings. I deleted the YouTube link and that specific note which refused to print could print with no problem. And after I changed my default YouTube link format to just text, it's fine. The print function does not like the YouTube link as a preview thumbnail. Thank you for everyone who tried to help. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted February 17, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Glad it's fixed, @DeannaL. Wonder if it's because the preview requires drawing info from online to display, which can't happen during a print? This is actually good to know; I'm sure I or someone else will run into the same problem sometime. Link to comment
DeannaL 4 Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 It could be, but I don't really know. I've gone into my settings and turned all the previews to text or the simplest version where available. 1 Link to comment
Randy Zeitman 19 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Mac Evernote doesn't print. Goes through the motions every time. Any note. Just text. Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave) No other printing issues with other apps. Evernote: 10.68.3-mac-ddl-public (20231218124244) Editor: v176.42.0 Service: v1.83.1 © 2019 - 2024 Evernote Corporation.

Ilkuul 0 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Just found that my latest notes (entered by hand since the last update) can only be printed from the "More actions" drop-down menu within the app. The normal Mac print shortcut Command/P doesn't work, and on the File menu the Print command is greyed out. This appears to be a bug. My older notes print fine using all methods. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted July 29 Level 5* Share Posted July 29 Hi. What MacOS and Evernote version numbers do you have? Link to comment
Ilkuul 0 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Hi. I have macOS Sonoma 14.5 and Evernote 10.97.3-mac-ddl-public (20240718185432), Editor: v178.17.7, Service: v2.1.2. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,772 Posted July 29 Level 5 Share Posted July 29 Why do you post in a subforum clearly designated as „Windows Issues“ ? Windows printing is very different to printing on a Mac. When did you last install a printer driver on your Mac ? Most likely never …. This said I can’t replicate the problem. The print dialogue works fine, no matter if the note is older or just created. I assume you have installed through the AppStore ? AppStore installs are often showing problems with interactions, like sharing or printing. The reason is that they run in their own sandbox. If you want to continue with the AppStore version (there are reasons for that), I would log out, quit the app and restart the Mac. Then open and log in again. If it’s now working, fine. If not think about installing the direct install from the EN website. You need to completely uninstall the AppStore install before. Not sure if it works through the app AppCleaner, which would be my first choice for the full uninstall. If not, you need to remove the EN database manually. The database created by the direct install is located in a different directory. Link to comment
Ilkuul 0 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 My apologies! I didn't notice that the parent folder was labelled "Windows issues". But thanks for your reply. In doing my first install of the current version (several updates ago) I was upgrading from the Legacy version and just followed the prompts. I don't remember whether that used the App store or the EN website. But I'll try your solution. If it comes to a full uninstall I'll probably use CleanMyMac, which claims to remove all related files; unless otherwise advised… Thanks again for these suggested solutions. I'll let you know what happens. Link to comment
