Hi!
I try to print an arch. And it doesn't work.
At right monitor you can see my drawing is inside print area, and below there a bunch od papers where it doesn't fit.
However at left monitor there is pdf exported from qcad and somehow this works. Fit into paper and even dimension is good (checked with the ruler)
Can I set something, to get from printer, what I see in preview?
ps. I tried different combinations of landscape/portrait in qcad/printer driver, but I think I shouldn't have to.

Re: print preview doesn't match actual print
Hi,
What we see is a Print Preview in Landscape and printouts in Portrait.
Looks similar to Printing Orientation Issue
Reported mostly for Win11 see FS#2556 (Updated)
Not reproducible by the developer and thus not fixed as far as I know.
Probably a (recent) printer Dialog issue and related to the OS.
The workaround is to export to PDF what doesn't rely on a printer Dialog.
The PDF can then be printed by any means available.
BTW: Version 3.25.2.0 was released on 2020/09/07 or about 4 1/2 years ago.
Perhaps the issue is already addressed for your system.

CVH
