Hi,

I am having an error come up when i try to use the print function, I see in a past post that this was pointed out as a problem with java 7.

“One of the releases of Java 7 (I think somewhere around 7u6/7u7, but that’s purely a guess) broke that print function, but the fix was only applied to the 7.5 branch. You will have to upgrade to 7.5.3/7.5.4, or downgrade your Java to either an earlier version of Java 7, or Java 6”

Is the upgrade to “7.5.3/7.5.4” an ignition upgrade or a Java upgrade.

I think it’s an “upgrade Ignition” issue.
