A MAJOR STEP BACKWARDS
I certainly hope the ability to print a plot is returned.
I find it hard to believe the only output option is now to .pdf

I think it makes a lot of sense to work from digital plots in these days, not only is it environmental friendly, but it is also a better way to keep everyone up to date on the latest version of the plot. Another advantage is that you can make annotations for everyone to read (making a correction in patch on the pdf, stored in dropbox/Google Drive updates for the whole team immediately)

If you really need to produce a plot on paper, nothing prevents you or your client from printing out the pdf.

We will not be bringing back the ability to print directly from within Capture. The amount of frustration and trouble caused by network printers, missing printers and general misbehaviour, especially from Windows with regard to print settings, widely exceeds the inconvenience caused by having to print the exported PDF when needed.
