It works for me - repeatedly. Did you have another document that's attached to another template containing a BeforePrint macro open at the same time?

I have no other documents open, just that one template.
When things like this happen it really bugs me so I just want to figure it out lol. I am losing hope, however. Is there a way to debug it on my end? I'm not getting any errors or anything, it just prints with the placeholder text showing. I'll note that there is a popup for my printer indicating low ink levels, would that somehow get in the way? Seems silly but all I can think of at the moment.
