I am not having margin issues.


Gotta trip myself up on this one. I DO have margin issues when selecting the Print Power Cards in Landscape option. The left margin is cut-off a bit. My printer drivers are up to date.

Running Vista.

I set my printer to print on both sides but it only prints on the front on the paper. I imagine it's related to people's problems when printing to .pdf and getting 3 different documents.

When I print to A4 I get the following:



Lots of spare space on the bottom. And very tight margins.

When I use A3 (Twice the AREA of a4, ie sides are 1.414 times as long) I get the following:



Would be cool to have a page setup / paper size / margins dialog.

Note: Screengrabs not to scale

Devs: If you want to mess around with different paper sizes, printing tp PDFs is good for testing.

I just upgraded to build 190540 and I'm having the following problems:

I can't print the landscape version. Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Layout->Default Landscape Layout
2) File->Print
3) Preferences (printer preferences)
4) Select Landscape Orientation
5) Print

Actual Result: It squeezes the landscape orientation page into a portrait orientation size. The long edge is compressed to fit along the short edge. E.g. The power cards are tall and skinny.

also

In portrait mode the power cards are printing slightly larger than in the prior beta (I think) and I can no longer fit the printed cards into card sleeves without cutting off some of the border on each side.

Thank you for the fine work on this product! You should make the code for this product open source with the class/race/skill/power database behind it closed. That way the larger community can contribute to bug fixes. Just make the licensing restrictive enough to protect your brand/trademarks/copyrights.

On my sheets, rituals appear to be cut off if I have more than the allotted space fits.

Before you can print, you need to select a printer.
If you need to install a printer, either double-click the Add Printer icon or click the Find Printer... button located on the General tab of this dialog.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Of course, I have a printer installed, and I can print test pages, pages from notepad, etc. The printer is fine. If I click OK, I can select my printer (it is shown on the list of printers), but all the options are grayed out, an it won't let me print. If I right click on the printer and hit Print, it brings up that dialog box as above.

My printer is a HP Officejet J5780 All-in-One.
I'm running Vista 64-bit Ultimate SP1, with the latest HP Officejet J5700 Series drivers installed. It is connected through USB.

This is such a minor issue compared to problems others are having I'm almost embarrassed to post it, but I will just in case anyone else has the same problem so they know they're not alone.

I have a custom layout on my sheet where I have the character portrait on both pages. Cause you know, the portrait is the most important part of the sheet. :D It's a custom portrait from a .bmp of a screenshot of my character from Neverwinter Nights.

On pages where the portrait appears the lines are not sharp and all the of the text is blurry, the the point where you can see the jagged edges of curves on the letters. But it only happens on pages where the portrait appears and only happens with my custom portrait. It doesn't happen if I select one of the stock portraits from the builder.

A very minor issue and probably doesn't deserve a lot of attention, but it DOES make a difference - I noticed I was squinting reading the sheet until I realized it was because the text and lines really WERE blurrier, it wasn't just fatigue or bad lighting or glare. I thought at first I needed to calibrate my printer (HP Color LaserJet 2600n) but it made no difference. I get enough of a headache after six hours of playing into the wee hours, no need to make it worse with a blurry character sheet!

Anyway, it's a MINOR issue, but there it is. No other problems with formatting for me, even with custom layouts like I use.

By the way, just wanted to give a helpful household hint: Did you know if you own Neverwinter Nights you already have a pretty cool character visualizer? Just fire up the DM client, create your toon, load up a module with a cool background, and outfit yourself with whatever equipment you like, then take a screenie! (You have to covert the file to .bmp or .jpg because I don't think CB will load .tga files)
OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player. 
3E challenged the character, not the player. 
Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM. 
That's why I love 4E.

Okay, what I found is that if I changed the image size to 305x278 png format like the sample portraits, then there's no blurriness on the character sheet at all. Not sure if it was the png format change or the resolution that made the difference though (I was using a 1280x1024 res .bmp); I suspect the resolution because I know changing the file format without changing the resolution still led to blurriness. Unfortunately, putting it at 305x278 changed the aspect just slightly. Not a huge deal but good to know.

So if I want to be a perfectionist I'd have to either scale the portrait down until it's at 305x278 or lower while preserving the aspect, and hope it doesn't have to be EXACTLY that resolution, or if it does need to be that resolution exactly, scale it down first until I get it close, then crop the image. Funny, it didn't do any of this stuff in the beta, and I was using the same huge .bmp image before.
