Visio 2003 Professional printing only 1/4 of page

[jimw]

All programs are printing fine. (Word, excel, power point, etc). But all my
Visio files print only 1/4 to 1/2 of the page at a time.

I can save a Visio sketch in Adobe reader and it will print just fine.

Any suggestions.

Did you verify that print setup and page size match: File>Page Setup?
Generally, the Page setup has "same as printer paper size" checked.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I checked. Page setup and page size match. Page size is checked "same
as printer paper". All are 11 x 8.5 landscape. I even tried portrait. Think
I tried about everything. It was doing it before I got a new computer and is
still doing so with the new one.

I can print the same sketches at work with no problems. Guess I may have to
live with converting to .pdf then printing.

Thanks for the effort

In case anyone else wants to contribute, what versions of Visio and Microsoft
Office are you using?

Since the printing seems to be OK at work, have you tried re-installing Visio?

If you can output to PDF (and graphic format - Save As in GIF etc?)
then it might be a printer driver problem. Update the printer driver,
or can you borrow another printer?

Visio 2003 Service Pack 1 did fix a couple of printing problems.
