If your output gets lost while printing it is likely that your schematic size and print page size are incompatible. For example, your schematic sheet may be size A4 while your print size is letter, which is slightly smaller. Make sure both are the same.
Use the smallest sheet size your schematic will fit inside. You can adjust sheet size using the sheet info tool in eeschema. It is the 4th button from the left in the top tool bar. --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Andy Eskelson <andyya...@...> wrote: > > If you just want a screen snapshot.... > > use a screen snapshot, there are many available,and most distros have one > already installed.
