What program are you viewing your save image with, and trying to print from?

All the best,

Depending on the quality of the output of your printer and the quality of the original images, it might be necessary for you to use a more sosphisticated image editor such as MicroSoft PhotoDraw to take the image and split in in half, before printing, so that readability increases.

That written, of the many testaments that I've printed off from ScottishDocuments as was, now ScotlandsPeople, as long as I used the highest possible print quality settings, and colour, as opposed to B&W or greyscale, I've never had a real problem reading such a document, although I will confess that a powerful magnifying glass has been of assistance on occasion :wink:

David you have a point here one of which I could have done without..
A few weeks ago I installed a new printer, with all the bells and whistles I might add.
I told the Store where I purchased same and it seems my 6/7 year old PC took an instand dislike to to this upstart and has rebelled.
Answer it seems is BUY a NEW COMPUTER! Afraid it will have to get in line for present. It is a loverrly thought though!
One more thing, is it possible to return what has been sent to Garbage Heaven?

Many thanks Andrew I may need more advise in the furture.
