Printing from Desktop in Illustrator 9.0.2

[russl]

We have recently upgraded to Illustrator 9.0.2 and have run into a very annoying problem. We can't print from the MAC Desktop anymore by selecting multiple files and pressing Command + P. The first file will open and print and then nothing. I don't have a problem doing this in Illustrator 8.0 so I am guessing the problem lies with 9.0.2. All machines are running MAC OS 9.0.4 or 9.1. Any thoughts?

havnt seen that one before. If you have desktop printer set up correctly (PPD and all) try dragging the documents over the printer icon.

Thanks for the response. I did try that already and it will not work either. Dragging a group of files over to the Desktop Printer only results in sending the 1st file to print. Even if I stop the queue only the 1st file will be spooled and held. As I said before it works perfectly fine in 8.0.1 but no go in 9.0.2. It is frustrating.

AI 9 has delivered quite a few stinkers. Ever tried to sample color from a placed image? How undoing a point average? The darn thing selects the whole object instead of the points you averaged! Only other thing I can think of is use the latest AdobePS desktop printer. Only reason I think that is because Indesign only prints to those.
