Landspace printing error

Postby NFCkilled1 » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:58 am

I have one problem. When I have a canvas which is oriented "landscape" and I print on printer which have "portrait" oriented paper, the image prints with missing right side. Is this an error or just "glitch" in Inkscape?

just need to set your printer to landscape in the print dialogue. under preferences.

It is a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166678

As llogg said the workaround seems to be to set page orientation in printer options before printing.
