Can't believe it, but out-of-date was better....

I've been struggling all day trying to make my computer print out those poster-sized graphic organizers that I printed. That didn't work, so I considered hand-painting them. It was all such a huge freaking pain!!!

For some reason, Paint Shop Pro doesn't print poster-sized anything, and neither does Photoshop Elements. It's like the poster printing companies paid them off so that everybody will have to pay $25+ to have a simple classroom poster printed. Why don't they allow a person to print, specifying that the final printout is 2x3 pages, instead of being limited to one measly page? (Unless you try to dupe the system by manually enlarging everything and then trying to print it a section at a time. By the time I finished doing it THAT way, I'd have wasted far more dollars in time than I would have just buying the damned book.)

Then I remembered - my old American Greetings Crafts program that I bought ten years ago printed posters that you could assemble. Yes, I found it, and no, there were no problems installing it on my pc. :) Major grins here when the scaled printing worked like a freaking charm! Just one simple print option that seems to have been eliminated entirely by the big boys in photo editing software. My poster sized 3 part Venn Diagram is just flying out of the printer with no problems whatsoever, including cutting and assembly lines.

Why can't it be this easy all the time? It's not like it's a Mickey Mouse program - it comes with some lovely features. (Heck, it cost me $30 ten years ago.)

Thanks American Greetings, for helping me out. :) Thanks for being there for me!
