In Windows, navigate to C:\Users\Your.Username\AppData\Roaming\ (replace "Your.Username" with the name used to logon to the machine; note that the "AppData" folder is hidden, and will need to be manually typed into the address bar). Rename the "Corel" folder to "Corel.bak" and attempt to launch CorelDRAW. This process will displace your tool presets, window positions, recent files list, palettes, etc.

====== JobControl shows a 0:00 estimate, even with valid lines/colors ======
====== Lines are not picked up by JobControl ======
See color chart on this page, verify your palette. Check line thickness, it should be "hairline" or very small, 0.2px seemed to work in Inkscape.


====== Printing to JobControl shows a blank job ======
======JobControl shows a 0:00 estimate, even with valid lines/colors======
If a cut will be very short, sometimes there's no estimated time shown. If you're confident that the lines are correct, just try it - scrap material is helpful here.
 
======Printing to JobControl shows a blank job======
Move your work to another part of the page, check Print Preview and CorelDRAW's Preflight tab.
 
======JobControl says that "job will not fit on plate"======
When printing, venture into the Trotec Engraver printer settings and ensure that both "Take from application" and "Minimize to jobsize" are enabled. Then, ensure that your job actually fits onto a page that'll fit on the Trotec bed. Watch for stragglers, points of vectors, errant pastes or lines. Check the Print Preview and CorelDRAW's Preflight tab. Move your work to another part of the page. If all else fails, return to the Trotec Engraver printer settings and manually set the jobsize to equal the Trotec bed size.
 
====== Job appears to print successfully, but doesn't show in JobControl's list ======
Disable DPI filter below list, "clear all" ??
