[Qgis-user] printing with google layers

[Markus Weidenbach]

Hi Jonathan,

faced the same problem recently, and if I understood right it is a 
limitation of the Google WMS. I think the "capabilities" of the WMS 
description tells you if you can print and what size (if I remember 
right the parameter is called "map extend", but I am not sure .. if this 
is set to 0, you can´t print anything. A possible workaround is to make 
a screenshot of the Google layer and open it in the map composer as a 
background photo (you can use the "save image" under the "File" menu in 
QGIS), another possibility is to reduce the size of your area to be 
printed, maybe you are allowed to print a smaller part ....

Regards,
Markus
