Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing, if you use GnuCash
to create a PDF it works fine.  But if you print to a printer and choose
the PDFCreator printer then it fails?

unlikely.. 2.2 is the first version to support windows, and as far as
I know this issue has always been there, but it only happens to SOME
people.  It's unclear why it happens to some people and not others.
