print scaling feature

When I try to print out a .bdf file I want it to fit on 1- 8.5x11 sheet.

I open the page set up window and select Fit to 1 page wide by 1 page tall.

When I do a print preview, the schematic is shown as very tiny in the corner and doesn't scale at all.

I tried to copy the schem to a new .bdf page, save it, close it, reopen it, and then the print preview shows a full page image. That worked for a few files, but now it's not working anymore.

I'm using QII ver 9.0 sp2 and HP Color LaserJet 8550-PS printer.

This is ****ing me off! Please help!

    Did you ever get an answer on this? I've got the same problem with 9.1 sp2. I teach a classroom full of students who now have to copy the figure to Word to print them out!
