[Qgis-user] Can't get printed or plotted output

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Geologist!
I think this is a memory problem, because of the size of your output. Can you print the exact same contents at the same size in on the same computer using ArcGis?
If so, check the resolution settings. The chance is that qgis defaults to 600 dpi while 150 dpi might work. The difference is hardly visible on the hard copy. 

Hth, Mats.E

I set up one as a plotter file (Print Composer #1, 42" X 60") and another as a PDF (Print Composer #3, "print as raster" checked) after failing to get a completely plotted map document.  The plotter output has a large area of empty paper in the middle as well as two narrow bands of empty space, all surrounded by the incomplete map.  When I try the PDF workaround to simply get usable output that I can send to the plotter, I get an incomplete PDF document and a message "Exception - bad allocation").    Anyone have any suggestions?  Not sure if this is a plotter problem, a Qgis garbage-in problem or ???
