printer settings

[John J. cruz]

I'm unable to set the printer output.  e.g., I print what I've completed
and the output is spread over 6 sheets (8 1/2" x 11").  I have not been
able to adjust the printer so my drawing will print on 1 sheet in
landscape.  How can I set the printer parameters without having to use
the resizing feature of Dia (trail & error until output fits)?

Nice environment but ...

[John J. Cruz]

Dia is a great environment.  However, could you consider the following:

in printer setup, provide the option to select landscape page
printing.
in the work window also provide the same option of selecting page
size.
in the work window, provide the ability to display the boundaries of
a 8 1/2 x 11 page.
provide the option to view the actual print-out before printing it.
instead of having to print or view at different sizes (40% and 85%
respectively), add "page width" etc.

is it the library I'm using but none of the control keys operate?
what is EPS and SVG?

Thank you for considering my user thoughts.
