Jul 13, 2012 15:44:28 I've been trying to print out some of my characters I created using the Character Builder and when I hit Print->(Select a Printer) nothing happens.
I've tried to print to XPS/PDF as well.

Also tried to print to PDF. It just sits there without progressing.

* Somewhere around 150dpi is adequate for most characters, but those with lots of extra conditional stuff in their power cards might need to be 300dpi so you can actually read the tiny text.
