Build 1092 issues
« on: 2014 April 18 10:13:03 »
Hello. I have been using build 1087 since its release with no issues whatsoever. A few days ago, I purchased a new network printer and configured it with a static IP address.

Last night I downloaded and attempted an install of build 1092. The install failed several times because the file system permissions were reported as incorrect. After a reboot I was able to install successfully, however, there is now a new issue.

When I start Pixinsight. the splash screen appears with a message "Loading Printer Settings..." and hangs for a full 5 minutes before finally starting up.

There are no permissions issues, I have administrative rights to the machine, I have allowed Pixinsight through the firewall and I'm not sure why installation of a network printer should cause the program to hang for this long. Trying to configure the printer through the Pixinsight file menu, also causes the program to hang. It eventually finds the printer, but not before a long delay.

Thanks,
Jayme

*** Update...

Removing this network printer and assigning another printer, such as a fax, or Microsoft XPS writer results in the program starting up a bit slower that previous versions, but it starts without hanging. Reinstalling my network printer results in the program once again hanging, so something changed between builds that is causing it to not play nice with printers. Not sure why it should even care. I'm running build 1092 on a Windows 7 Premium SP1 system.

Thanks
