Printer Problem...........
« on: Saturday 02 September 06 23:24 BST (UK) »
Ive saved some cencus images to "my documents" and I now want to print them out but when i go to "print preview" there is only half the cencus page there and thats all it prints .

If you open them just to view, do you get the full image, Joe?

It could be that you've only saved partial images or that they're too big for A4, for start.

Hi Gadget

Thanks for replying so quickly

When I just open to view the whole thing is there..so like you say the image may be too big..where do I go from here

Im trying to tidy my documents up and to do this Ive got tons of printing to do and i thought I would do it while the boards are quiet and there aint a CRYPTIC on the go....LOL

What do you print from - via the print utility that comes with Windows or through a package?

Good printers those  ;D

When you click on the image to open it, what program does it say it is  on the top of the screen?

Otherwise right click on the image and go to 'open with' and then try to locate Windows Pictures and Fax viewer from the list. You can print from that by clicking onthe printer icon at the bottom. It will give you a choice of print options - select the full page one. If this still prints half, it's probably a printer driver problem.

I'm giving them up - bad for the health  ;D That way lies nothing getting done.

PM me if you still have problems. It could be that you need to reload your printer driver from disk or just do a restart.
