I have a printing problem when using R14 and an Epson Stylus CX3200 A4 printer. If I tick the box "Scale to fit" I get a printout in wrong scale. If I do not tick the box and set paper size to "Inch" and pick a window instead I do not get anything at all... Nothing shows up on the preview. It is obvious that I do something wrong here, but what? Please help me...

What unit is the drawing set to? If it's not Inches, that should be part of it.
What happens if you print the curent view?

My Feedback: (3)

Check what view you are printing: Either 'layout', 'display', 'window' or 'Limits'. (If window, you'll be prompted to pick a window)

Ideally, you want to plot 'extents' and 1:1.

Scale to fit witll fit your view selection to teh paper. Chances are, you're tryitn to plot a protionof teh whole dwg (extents) and it's only grabbing teh top left 'A4' sized portion of teh drawing.

Since you are plotting a plane dwg, an dit probably won't all fit on one A4 sized sheet, you'll need to make multiple plots, and tape them all together. Draw, then array a bunch of rectangles that match the paper size (taking into account that there is about 1/4" all around teh paper that will not be printed / cannot be printed on by teh printer) Basically, there will be a grid.

When plotting , select 'window' then drag teh widow aroudn teh first rectangle, then the next etc.. till teh dwg is all plotted.
