Print Button Troubleshooting

Resolve problems when trying to print from ArtCloud

Here are some quick troubleshooting guides if you're having trouble printing in ArtCloud:

If you're having trouble getting the print pdf to generate, your browser (Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) may be the problem. Try the following: logging out and back into your ArtCloud account, updating and restarting your browser, checking your browser's pop-up settings, or looking at extensions installed on your browser.

Log out and log back in

If you're noticing the print button not performing any action after clicking, try logging out and back into the account. Logging out of your ArtCloud account can clear data that might be stuck in your browser's cache that might be preventing the print pdf to pop up into your browser.

Troubleshooting Google Chrome

Check your pop-up settings

You'll may notice a Pop-ups icon in your URL search bar towards the top of your browser. The easiest way to get this pop up to generate is to try to print a piece of collateral first: wall tag, tearsheet, mosaic, or certificate of authenticity. If you don't see a print pdf generate, check your URL search bar for the small box with an X. If you see this box, you'll want to select this and then select the option Always allow pop-ups and redirects from https://pro.artcloud.com. Then click Done. You should try to print your collateral again.

This will take you to your About Chrome information. If you need to update your browser, you will be informed of it here, and it will automatically perform the update. After the update is finished, you will be prompted to close out your browser for the changes to take effect. Please make sure to allow it to completely update on your computer. In the example below, the browser is currently up-to-date.

Troubleshooting in Firefox

Change pop-up settings

Changing pop-up settings in Firefox is also very similar to Google Chrome. Again, you'll want to prompt the pop-up permissions in the browser by trying to print a type of collateral. If nothing happens when you click Print, check the your URL search bar. If a graphic of two slider bars and small box appears on the far left of the search bar, click it. You will see a dropdown menu. Select the ALLOW button. This adjustment should allow you to print in Firefox.

Is Firefox Updated?

If you've permitted the pop-ups in Firefox, but you're still experiencing trouble, please try updating Firefox. This is similar to updating Google Chrome. To see if your Firefox browser is the latest version, you'll want to click on the 3 lined menu in the top right corner of your browser, then select Settings

This will take you to your General Firefox information. Scroll down until you find your Firefox Updates. If you need to update your browser, you will be informed of it here, or you can Check for updates. After the update is finished, you will be prompted to close out your browser for the changes to take effect. Please make sure to allow it to completely update on your computer. In the example below, the browser is currently up-to-date.
