Description

I'm new here. I have searched but haven't found this error over the past few days.

I updated from 2.18 to 3. Opened an existing project, everything great, faster rendering (yay).

When printing directly to the A4 printer, the paper size is not recognised by the printer and when the layout does print, part of the layout is missing. I have tried to print to A0 printer and the paper size keeps changing to A4 from A0 or A1

When I print to pdf, everything is fine.

#3 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti over 6 years ago

can you attach your test project (and minimal data)?

#4 Updated by Noel Ballantyne over 6 years ago

690 layers in file.

Ill trim in down to 3/4,

Will i do same for 2.18 version?

#6 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti over 6 years ago

Thanks, no need to attach a 2.x project: the layout code is a complete rewrite.

#7 Updated by Fernando Ciges over 6 years ago

The same happens to me. I have gone from version 2.18 to version 3.0. In the Las Palmas version I had no problem with printing.
I usually work in A3 format and as I said in version 2.18 I did not have any problems with printing from the "designer manager", but in version 3.0, from the "Show Layout" I printed the rotated drawing occupying only a part of A3 paper. Paper comes out horizontally and printing makes it vertical. It is not a problem to configure the printer or the preferences because with version 2.18 I do exactly the same and print well.
