Can't print

Post by PCz » Tue Aug 22, 2017 4:45 am

I have a file that QCAD will not print. Print Preview creates a perfectly printable PDF file (except without colour), but when I use the QCAD print command I get a completely blank piece of paper. Operating system is Window 10, printer is Canon MG7520 inkjet. I would attach the DXF file, but can't find the attach button.

Thanks for the reply, however, I had already seen that tutorial and followed it. My diagram looks just like the one given in the tutorial. Also I get a perfect pdf print. I still get a blank piece of paper whenever I try to print directly. QCad version is Pro 5.5.1. I just found the attachment button and am attaching the file that I am attempting to print

Hello PCz,

how big is your printer? e_surprised

Please check the paper size - I doubt that your printer is able to print on a 8.5 by 11 foot sheet ...

Sorry for that! :D

Adjust your Paper size to 8.5 by 11 inch and I'm sure it will work. :wink:
