[Qgis-user] Trying to Print: KML and Open Street Map

I'm trying to print a layer of points (kml) on an Open Street Map. I'm
hoping to get the highest resolution possible - so I can print them out
at 600 dpi.
QGIS 1.6
I use the OpenLayers plugin to get the OpenStreetMap layer.
I add the kml data. I zoom in a couple times (to the state of
Pennsylvania).
It looks fine in QGis. Now when I try to print it using "Print
Composer", I select "add a map" and create a box for the map. The map
shows up fine. But when I try to export it to an image (or pdf) it
shows my kml markers on a *completely different* open street map
background. It looks like it zoomed in 3-5 times on openstreet (and
changed the center point), but the kml layer keeps its original projection.
Am I using the best approach? What should I do?
Thanks,
Aaron
