2790.0. "SIXEL "Print Entire Screen" prints to 2 pages" by CSC32::D_COHN (Semiprodigious) Fri May 18 1990 13:53

	I am currently working an issue with a customer who is having problems 
with "Print Entire Screen"/"Capture Entire Screen" under V5.3-1 using a 
VAXStation-3100 with a 19' monochrome monitor. 

	Customer claims that under V1.0 of DECWindows she was able to "Capture 
Entire Screen" to a SIXEL file with "1-to-1" and in "Landscape" page 
orientation and then print that file to the pVAX's attached LN03 and have the 
output print to a single sheet.  Now that she is at V2.0 and can successfull 
"print/capture" without aborting the Session Mgr. but she finds that the file 
prints to two pages.  

	I have sent her and she has applied the patch for improving the SIXEL 
print quality but have not been able to find out why it keeps spanning a page. 
Is this a "known issue" or "?".

2790.1Printscreen scaling/rotation?STAR::ORGOVANVince OrgovanMon May 21 1990 18:326
    I think the V2 printscreen code attempts to scale/rotate the 
    print image to get what it considers is the best match to the 
    paper size. The session manager customize/printscreen function 
    has a button to disable scaling and rotation. This works for
    disabling rotation it doesn't affect scaling. I believe that
    CSSE has a patch to fix scaling disable.
