Thanks Andrew, will check driver and printer installation, Otherwise will copy into Libre CAD, which prints out fine (though is otherwise very limited compared to QCAD!)

Thanks for help Andrew. The pdf dwg prints OK but even after increasing the line weight the same 'offset right printing happens when I print from the Print Preview screen.

As requested, drawing file att, also a scan of the faulty printout, Ray

Runs perfectly from Terminal but not from Nautilus.

QCAD runs!!! but when I went to close the Terminal I noticed:- ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/Downloads/qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_32$ ./qcad Debug: RCamScriptsPlugin: init Debug: RDwgPlugin::init: trial Debug: RDxfPlugin::init Debug: RHelpPlugin::init Debug: RProScriptsPlugin::init Debug: FirstStart.js: cannot lo...

ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/Downloads$ ./qcad
bash: ./qcad: No such file or directory
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/Downloads$

Output:-
ray@ray-Aspire-5735:~/Downloads$ ls qcad*
qcad-3.4.6-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

When I used Ver 2 of QCad and went to Print Preview to select which part of the drawing to print, I was able to click on the Page outline (white) and move it to cover the part of the drawing I wanted. In Ver 3.0 I no longer seem to be able to do this.

That worked OK, at least I can complete the drawings I need!
