[Qgis-user] WMS-T printing issue

[Frederick Löbig]

Hi Giovanni,

thanks for the quick response. This is exactly what I thought could be the issue. But there are a few things which I don't understand:

1. The map tiles are provided by a geoservers GWC. When I add the layer to e.g. uDig, the printing process works great. It's nice and fast (about 10 secs for ISO-A0). 
2. I don't have the input-fields for width and height when I add a layer but I'm using qGIS 1.7.0 Wroclaw
3. Is it a general problem that qGIS is requesting a big tile instead of many small tiles when printing? If not, the problem has to be somewhere else...

Has anyone had this problem with this software combination (qGIS 1.7 and GWC)?

Best,
Freddy
