Printing Problems

JRS
I can get a good preview of a drawing on LibreCAD; however, when  I try to print it the outcome is always shifted down  and to the right.  This  has happened on both my older HP printer and my newer Brother printer.  What am I doin wrong?

Check the page size and margins.

And orientation as well.

This appears to be a bug to me:

In drawing options, you already selected landscape, for example, and print preview shows landscape as well.

When you click print to go get the window printer option, it may chooses portrait, and ruining the preview.

I will do a troubleshoot

How much is the offset? Are you on Windows?
I experience this too with an offset about 3.5 mm. It seems to have to do with the not printable area of the printer. It does not happen in Linux. It cannot be cured with proper paper margins and sizes or orientation. My personal solution is to shift the Paper sheet in Print Preview accordingly in the opposite direction.
