Digital BW, The Print

Hi Derek

I had the same problem.

What I did to solve it was use Qimage to print to a file like you do, but
select a smaller printable area.

My setup in Qimage is print to file, 720 dpi, 10x8 size.

I latter send this file to QTR and Epson 2200, with 11x8.5 paper.

If I send a 11x8.5 file to QTR, the result is a mess.

I´m sure I could print a file bigger than 10x8, maybe 10.5 x 8 or something.
But I didn´t care to test.

Hope that helps you.

Nelson
