4 x 6 index card printing is truncated

Asked by jridgley2@austin.rr.com

I have defined a 4 x 6 index card for my wife's recipe file. It truncates the print at 4" on the 6" side. I have tried to get it to print correctly and was successfull 1 time but I don't remember what the sequence of events was. I am also not able to rotate the image 90 degrees.

Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jay

The last time I had this problem, the paper layout I defined was the wrong way around.

The paper definition is defined as how it is physically put into the printer (File -> Printer Settings... -> Properties...), the document's page definition (Format -> Page), which is separate, is how you want it to print.

 Thanks

That was it, once I changed to print in landscape every thing fell into
place.
