Thanks - yep, that's what I mean but not what I get. Usually the 
topLeft coordinate prints correctly but elements to the right and 
bottom get missed (sometimes irrespective of whether they are offscreen 
or not). Calculating the 'relative' screen size and changing the 
printScale property to an appropriate value doesn't seem to help 
either. The best I've been able to manage is to print from 0,0 to the 
bottomRight object and adjust the printScale accordingly - at least all 
the objects are rendered this way. I think I've explored and exhausted 
all options at this end so it'll have to do.

Cheers,

Terry...
