Hello,

I was getting on very nicely with LIbreCAD until I came to print something.
I am running Debian Wheezy (Testing) and have a Canon PIXMA MP600 all-in-one printer.
I know it's not the best combination but using the closed source TurboPrint driver I usually get excellent results.

Not with LibreCAD though...
Print preview comes up at first with scale 1:1 and shows nothing. If I change the scale to 1:25 I get a good fit for a drawing which fills an A4 sheet.

But on printing I only get a very small corner of the drawing on paper... I.e. not what the preview shows

I would be grateful for any suggestions as to what might be wrong.

Could it be that a printer from another manufacturer, one well supported under Linux, would give better results?
