Printing Problems with newer scenario(s?)

Silver Crusade 1/5

Hi there,

today I tried printing #6-10 - The Wounded Wisp and ran into some unexpected problems.
I print the PDFs with the printers at my University because I myself do not own one. This has never generated any problems aside from the process taking a bit longer with Season 6 scenarios - why that is I cannot say. Maybe because every single page has a bigger background image.
The Wounded Wisp however refuses to print properly - it prints until it reaches a map, slaughters the map (some parts are okay, other parts are offset and others are stretched) and stops afterwards, declaring an incompatible type of file being used.
This is...unfortunate, to say the least. While I can probably print the scenarios somewhere else, the most convenient (and cheapest) way to do it have always been these printers.

Did anybody else run into printing problems?
I had no problems with #6-05 and #6-06 (aside from very long period of the printer converting the file before printing it), so I suspect it has something to do with the inclusion of statblocks at the end of the scenario (as described here), but that is, of course, mere speculation.

Does it have a form of secure printing? Or delayed printing?

I had this problem printing at the office (we have secured print enabled). When I would enable the printing while it was still busy flattening at the computer, I would have the same thing (this was with Hall of the Flesh Eaters).

If I wait untill the whole conversion process is done and then let it print, it went fine.

I'm not sure. I will try to send the printing task directly with my laptop - something I did not yet try.

I can't really influence the printing the way I do it at the moment - I insert the USB stick, select the PDF and hit print. Not much I can do there, I'm afraid.

Oh, no idea how this works when you insert a USB directly into a printer... it might be that that is what is causing the problem. Printer doesnt know how to properly format...
