The pattern looks much bigger than 11″ long (and it is). When I follow your instructions, it only prints a blank page. When I printed as “fit” or “shrink oversized pages”, at least I got a small version of the pattern. Maybe it’s pattern – which is on the Janome Facebook page – Personalized Newborn Baby Bibs from Quilt Escapes.

Our default paper size is A4.

I have had an entire PDF pattern print out correctly but mess up ONE page. By the time I have gotten around to making it and notice, I have to go through the process of trying to find it on my external hard drive! I also did not know about checking page source. Thank you for that info. I also print in economy mode to save ink.

May also want to mention that if you are based in the UK as I am you need to change the paper size from A4 to US letter as it is different!

I thought I did a PDF posting wrong, because the sizing was off. I now know that that publication is fine. My printer said it was 100%, 8 1/2 X 11, but it was defaulting to “fit to scale” instead of “actual size”. Once I changed this option, it printed perfectly. See my post here:
