Internal Ghostscript error. (29100)

PDFCreator
1

When trying to print a PDF from some web pages, I get the following error.
"An error occurred: Internal Ghostscript error. (29100)"

I am using a Win10 64 bit PC, Comodo Dragon Version 80.0.3987.87 (64-bit), chrome-core browser. All software is up-to-date.

I have created profiles and they all work fine if I print a "Test" page from PDFCreator, as well as, docx, xlsx, png, jpg and txt files. However, when I print some web pages, I get the above error and no PDF is created.

This seems to be an ongoing problem as the hordes of posts attest. Please fix.
Thank you.

Here are a selection of error message from the PDFCreator log:

Hi,

sorry for the trouble.
We would love to fix this, but in the vast majority of cases it isn't caused or fixable on our end.
There is an issue between the current Chrome release and Ghostscript, so you will get this error everytime you print to PDFCreator from Chrome v.80
It is fixed in Chrome 81, which is scheduled to be released on Mar 17th.
Printing from a different browser should already work, unless the browser is based on Chromium v.80.

Best regards

Robin
