Numbers documents will not print. Printer tests good.

Computer/printer prints everything but Numbers documents. Nor will it print a .pdf based on a numbers document. Get instant "Error while Printing" dialogue. Documents do not appear in printer queue.


Sent .pdf to PC, which printed it handily.

I don't know if it applies these days but in the past one solution to weird printer problems was to go to the manufacturer website and download the latest drivers. You might also check for the latest firmware while you are there. If we assume Numbers is generating a slightly odd PDF, the driver for Windows seems to handle it but not the one for Mac.
