Re: Can't print my dia diagram on my printer

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

For single page sized work you may be able to do quick work with screen dumps and captures.  But the PDF output that Steffen mentions has always been flawless for me.  I also use Cairo png.

Can you say more about the printer, the driver, and the Dia settings?  Page scale, zoom level.  Have you set the page separation lines to a color other than the background so you can tell how the pages will break?  I am imagining a situation where you have a Dia spanning many pages and a printer or setup that does not support this...

I have downloaded Dia to complete an assignment in college and I can't get it to print on my printer. My printer seems to be working fine for other print jobs. Please tell me what to do. I need to be able to print this assignment for the 12th of this month.

Which operating system do you use and which printer?

Dia can export your diagrams as PDF files, allowing you to use a PDF viewer software of your choice to print your diagrams.
Just select File->Export from the menu and select "Cairo Portable Document Format (*.pdf)" as the document type.
Save the file, open it and print it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steffen
