printing

[Charles Clark]

Perhaps the following, taken from the Corel Photopaint 8 Help Files may
help:

------------------------

"By default, if you try to print an image with an orientation different from
that selected in the device properties, a message warns you and asks if you
want to adjust the printer paper orientation. You can disable this warning
and the paper orientation is *automatically* adjusted."

"To disable the Page Orientation Warning

1. Click File, Print.
2. Click the Miscellaneous tab.
3. Choose the Page Orientation Warning from the Special Settings window.
4. Choose Off."

--------------------------

You may possibly have the page orientation warning unknowingly set to OFF .
It would be a simple matter to reset the warning to ON using the above
steps. You then would have the ability to say NO when the warning box comes
up and prevent an automatic reorientation.

If this fails to help, you might try rotating your image 90 degrees before
going into print.

I have not had any problems printing huge tiled images with my HP 1120C
printer.

Yours truly, Charlie.
