Printing problem

Post by mrklean59 » Mon Jan 12, 2009 9:09 pm

When I print using the free version, printing is very light. When I print using the demo version, I save to pdf and printing is fine. Any suggestions would be appreciate,
Thanks !

Set your line weights to something appropriate for the scale at which you are printing. I use .35mm for 1=1 scale printing of small parts. The line weight is scaled with the scale of the print out.

Hi,
Running QCAD 2.2.1.0 under Debian Testing. Using a HP photosmart C6200. QCAD finds the printer OK, but the Properties button is greyed out. When I attempt to print from QCAD, it tries to print to the photo paper. Other applications work fine if I set the paper source appropriately.
I do have the symlink to printcaps set.

Any suggestions, please?
