Can't reproduce that issue. Please elaborator what "having trouble" and "nothing happens" exactly means. If possible please attach the dxf/dwg file or even screenshots for us. Thanks.

In the pic you will see a simple part that is scaled 1:1 ready to print. When I press the print icon the printer dialog pops up. This afternoon Qcad would bring up (not responding) and not print. Eventually it would return the same screen. Now 11:14 pm I just successfully printed the same file. Strange I am not sure what happened earlier today. I will repost if the problem occurs again.
