QCAD.org Forum

Been using qcad for some time and never had this problem, but believe its down to me, but cannot figure it out.
When I print to my trusty hp 4400, after preview and fit and center to page, I get about a quarter of the drawing at the edge of the page.?
If I print to pdf and print the file it works great ?
Its me somewhere but am pulling my hair out, prssure is off now that I sussed pdf route but want to get it sorted properly.
Qcad ticks all the boxes for me!!
Any ideas appreciate.
With Thanks
Pete

Pete,
if you haven't resolved this yet, and for others with this problem:

Have you set a different printer, other than your hp 4400, as your default system printer?

I had this same problem with 2.2.2 on Mac Snow Leopard. I found that the print dialog only allowed printing with the default settings of the default printer so that, even if I selected a 24" Hp Designjet to print an A1-sized drawing, all I got was the A4-sized portion my 1200 series Laserjet would be able to print.

If I temporarily chose the Designjet as my default system printer, just to print the drawing in question, everthing worked fine.

Best regards,
Jonathan

P.S.
On the other hand, when I export to PDF, raster images get ingnored randomly: In the same drawing one may show up whist others disappear, and no amount of tricks will resolve the situation. If anyone has found a solution to this, please let me know.
