jimmyG Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 Found a b&w line drawing pic I wanted to scroll. Do a screenshot open in photoshop save as jpeg gif tiff png formats and my printer shoots out a blank sheet of paper every time. No matter what program that opens it, nothing prints. Happens all the time and drives me nuts. Why? OCtoolguy 1 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted April 16, 2024 Report Posted April 16, 2024 If you have the picture on your screen, try putting your cursor right on it, right click, select print and when your printer window opens up, you should be able to do all your print settings from there. That's the simplest way I can think of for you to print. Now, if you want to make design changes to the pattern, you'll have to "import" it into whatever software package you are using. Probably "Word" would be the easiest to work with. Most of us use Inkscape and there is a definite learning curve there. I'm still plodding through it after 8 years. Quote
Peter N White Posted April 17, 2024 Report Posted April 17, 2024 If you have snipping tool on computer you just snip it then click file then click save as and name it and will save to any folder you want. Then just open from your folder and then print. I do it all the time. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

jimmyG Posted April 17, 2024 Author Report Posted April 17, 2024 So for what's it's worth, I finally printed and re-sized the image to make a switch plate topper. It wasn't too difficult to cut if I took my time and was careful. Here it is......... Dak0ta52, Mike Crosa, barb.j.enders and 2 others 4 1 Quote
