Prints Inverted

Post by arovelstad »

Whenever I print a file that is fine in the viewer it comes out vertically flipped, i.e., mirrored about a horizontal line. Other users here have this problem with only some printers. For me it's all of the printers I have tried. If I flip the view vertically, it prints fine. Is there a setting somewhere I need to reverse?

It's a known bug, will be fixed in 1.91.5

Really? Please post a screenshot of your settings, and a picture file used?

Please describe your problem more precise.

I suppose you

- take the tif-file
- use the displayed settings
- and the result on paper is inverted?

Maybe you can attach more settings of your printer?

Here are some more printer settings. What I am trying to do is print a .tiff, the image comes out mirrored I have looked through my printer settings and have not found why it is doing this. The program is great and works on every other file type I try besides .tif files. This mirrored affect occurs when I print more than 1 .tif file at a time. It works just fine when I print them individually.

thanks in advance for any help

You should try to print on other printers: PDF, HPGL, ....

If there is still the effect it is a problem with the tif or with XnView; if there is no bad effect, it is a problem with your driver.

I tried to print them to PDF and the files were still mirrored except for one. I was able to create a multi page file that included all the documents that I tried to print. I chose to create it in a PDF format. This worked fine and did not print the files mirrored. Since there was one tif file that printed fine my guess is that all the other tif files are bad.

Thanks for the help.

The tiff is printed in landscape or portrait?
