Since I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my PC to Windows 11 I am having a printing issue that results in only being able to print portrait, even though my mindmaps are designed to be printed landscape. If I hit ‘print’ I go to a screen I didn’t used to see titled ‘Scapple - Print’ that tells me ‘This app doesn’t support print preview’. It defaults to ‘Potrait’. If I change it to ‘Landscape’ and hit ‘Print’ it tells me ‘Document binding was changed from Left because of a conflict with another ptinter setting’ and fails to print. If I first select ‘Print Preview’ I see the familiar Scapple print preview screen, with my mindmap showing as landscape. Hitting the print button takes me to the ‘Scapple - Print’ screen I just described. I would be graetful for advice on how to fix this. Thanks.
Hi
Perhaps this can help :
I also came across the information by which there are some further settings buried under more settings
, somewhere in the new print dialog. (I don’t know where exactly, I am still holding on to Win10.)
Hi Vincent. That was so simple, but so effective! Many, many thanks. Gordon
Glad I could help.
For anyone who ever has the same issue (potentially me included) :
Did you have to revert to the legacy print menu, or was it simply something hidden under More settings
?
I’ve been on Windows 11 since its inception and am on the latest Dev Channel release.
I have no problem printing (Print to PDF) a Scapple diagram in landscape mode – though admittedly, to PDF, which to me is the same thing, except the output is a document. And yes, I did a rudimentary test when I saw the OPs post.
I checked my machine’s registry, and the legacy print option is not there.
So, the problem may be related to the printer itself.
@RevoTiLlor, was your Win11 installation clean install or an upgrade? Perhaps that makes the difference? (Just guessing.)
Both. I have a tendency to fiddle with Windows. So in the past year have done two clean installs, moving my data safely off my machine first and then returning it after the clean upgrade. Otherwise in the Insider Dev Channel is approximately weekly/bi-weekly upgrades that take around 4 minutes.
The Dev Channel is software related. The Canary Channel is Windows hardware specific, but months behind on software. Beta lags behind both the former. Sometimes all three get a simultaneous upgrade. And then there’s staggered releases you may not get right away, but there are tools that can get it to you immediately on release. This can give you strange experiences, for instance, in one upgrade all my Taskbar icons were wiped. Now they all have a two in brackets since then for the last a month.
Standard Windows upgrades are annual these days, around October. So for Windows 10 and 11, this year it will be version 25H2 with the 2 representing the second half of the year, though the builds will be different. Canary and Dev have experimental features that may never reach final implementation. Beta is near complete and what to expect.
