Printing on a large-format printer
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2007 11:38 pm
Hi,
my printing problems persist, unfortunately. I have a 24" printer (HP DesignJet 430) and the paper sizes I need are usually something between 1,50m and 2,00m lengthwise. Right now, I am resorting to Windows programs to do this.
Printing to the printer will print only an A4 size part of the file. Exporting to pdf gives me a rather large file with a square (!) bounding box and nothing inside. So I have no way out of this right now. I had hoped the new release would fix it because a) the associated Qt bugs may have been fixed or b) there might be a workaround now in Qt.
The preview window looks ok apart from the fact that the landscape/portrait checkbox from Edit->Application Preferences seems to get ignored.
Any ideas? QCad is such a great program, but I do need to print my files, too (which is a pain with both AXCAD and Autodesk, but somehow works, at least).
