Re: Found way around the QTRgui Centering Problem...

2004-12-15 by Roy Harrington

What's happening is that on a printer such as the 4000. the printable area
is not centered -- the trailing edge margin is larger than the leading edge margin.
So the "To Fit" is maximizing the size and essentially overriding the "Center" for
the long dimension.
