Description:
have a model which is impossible to read on A3, tried to enlarge.

in print dialog: models scales OK to 4 x A3 landscape using the zoom sliders, however unable to print only 4 pages at this zoom level, prints additional 8 blank pages. cannot remove blank pages by selecting more appropriate vertical or horizontal values (changing page numbers or using arrows) also adjusts zoom

to get round problem at present printing to Acrobat Writer, if a table starts on a page, but continues over to another page to the right then some / all of the text is missing (looks like the print process 'thinks' the text is catered for in the left page, and does carry over to the right page.

Also some time the print misses or compresses text in tables. seems not consistent, doesn't always occur, doesn't always occur on same element.

hardware is intel P4 3.02Ghz, ATI Radeon 256MB

fault also present in 1.0.6 Win XP

there is something odd about the print driver, it is generating a 122mb page image in the print queue for a blank page (admittedly it is a blank page with the grid on it, but 122mb!)

Thanks for all the information you gave us for this bug report.  I was finally able to reproduce it using the following ATI video cards:

X600, 9600
