I am using Revit 2013, and am having issues with getting my electrical to print. It shows up on the computer screen, but is not visible in the print preview, or when I print. I have gotten it to work in other files, and it prints fine on my foundation and second floor of this particular file. It only does not print for my main floor. What the heck is going on?! Any help would be much appreciated!

Do you have something temporarily hidden that covers things up? The glasses are only temporary hide.
Otherwise, we need more information.

Sorry, it was vague. Nothing is temporarily hidden. I used a ceiling plan to create the electrical plan, but there is nothing that I can see that would be blocking my components from showing up. I have no overrides on the electrical components either.

You say it is an electrical plan using a RCP. And that is also what you did on the second floor. You used the second floor RCP to create an electrical plan there.
You are really asking us to guess. Our guess is always that you have erred so for now, my guess is that these three electrical plans are not the same.
BTW - You say electrical plan. Does this mean wiring to lights using linework? Or does this mean switches and wall outlets?

I did each of the plans the exact same way.
It is the switches and outlets that are not showing up.
I am confused by it, so I am having a hard time explaining it. I don't understand how it can work on one floor, and not the other. Is there any way to set the electrical on one view not to print? That is what seems to be happening. It works everywhere else, just not in the one plan view.

If the items are not within the view range, then they will not print. I assume they are because you say they are on the screen.
You need to show us some screen capture images. Of the plan - of the view properties .

I have figured out the problem. I was printing with vector processing checked off, and as soon as I switched it to raster processing it printed with everything showing.
Thanks for your time.

There is definitely a bug relating to this. I was having the same problem and eventually isolated it to one masking region that was somehow causing this. Sounds crazy, but deleting that one masking region made it print correctly.
