Dee, I have now sorted out my problem, which btw. was due to an incomplete installation of the drivers, and can confirm that the drivers given in my last post (below) were correct and work. Do bear in mind, however, that a large chart can use an awful lot of memory and may exceed the capacity of your PC. You may have to maximise this by changing the size of the virtual memory (Control Panel>System).

On my old PC (Win XP) I had this set up using WinLine Drivers for Raster Plotter (HPRTL HPGL2) - you can Google for this - and it worked fine. However I am currently using a WIN7 64bit machine and when I try to save the file to JPEG I am getting an access violation error. So until I can sort this I cannot really help you. suggestions welcome!! Don't forget that Legacy can print the file for you, see the Order Option.

Is "install the drivers used for chart printers" something practical to do on a home PC? My son-in-law (and thus, grandchildren) have an authentic line back to Charlemagne, etc. I would very much like to print out our entire ancestries, not for display but as a working copy. Can I do this from Legacy? Taking a flash drive to a local print shop? As you probably can tell from my opening question -- I'm not a technowhiz. More technotimid. Any instruction will be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
