I just printed a route chart out for a flight tomorrow, and I notice that the useful boxes giving heading, time and distance on each leg have been replaced by the slightly less useful text "tap to unlock". I have tried tapping the paper, but nothing happened! ;-)

Perhaps you're printing on the 'wrong' type of paper. Lol.

The information on heading and time is based upon the selected aircraft and weather information.
So the question is; was the aircraft selected and was the weather information available and loaded.
For this reason it isn't very useful to print this one day before --if you want to use this information-- as you will not have accurate weather and wind available one day before your flight.

Good thoughts, tijssel, but in this case I had an aircraft selected and the time was sensible and when weather forecasts were available. I have just re-tried the print with today's date/time and I still get the "tap to unlock" message.

Just in case it makes a difference, this is all in SD 3.6.3.0 running on Windows 10 64-bit v1511 build 10586.545 on an Intel Core i5 machine.

Tried printing after reading this thread and my Skydemon Plan Win10 does not print at all, error message: "Could not print because of an internal error".

*update* Upon checking the print system of Windows10 I found three "dead" printer entries - no idea where they came from, but after deletion I could reproduce the "tap" error. But, after I restarted the print system I does print now correctly. Looks like there is/was a problem in Windows10, at least here.

I too have the same "tap error" problem with my Win 10 PC

This is, obviously, a bug. It's fixed in the forthcoming version. Thanks all for pointing it out.
