Is this common? I'm sure I remember this being mentioned before, i've been trying to print off all the census returns I had saved to my shoebox, but it seems to be very temperamental - working for some and not others? Any ideas? Laura

Much better to save them to your hard drive, then you can open them in your image editing programme and crop off all the surrounding black area before you print, this will save wasting a lot of your precious ink. Jennifer

Just what I was going to say Jennifer. I always go to save as and then print afterwards. Ann Glos
