Re: Printing Problems with 1.12.3

[Scott Ballantyne <sdb ssr com>]

Following up on my message, as I was desperate, I fiddled with this
printing issue some more.

I tried printing in portrait mode. This produced a single blank white
page, the printer didn't give the 'wrong paper size' error I had been
receiving. So a step in the right direction.  I then used the 'set
print area' from the menu, and tried again, and got the printout in
portrait mode. Although way to small to be readable, it was at least
something.

Then, after all this, switching BACK to landscape mode, leaving all
other settings just as they were, resulted in actual usable
printout. A lot to go through, but at least I can get something
usable.

Hopefully this will be of some help to someone else, or in diagnosing
the problems.

Best,
Scott
