I fail to get the printed output in black and white despite of trying the different settings on the printer...and the choice "pdf" dont occur either--what can I do to solve this?

Akki,

Please post such future questions in an appropriate forum like 'QCAD 'How Do I' Questions' or 'QCAD Troubleshooting and Problems'
Also read the forum rules at the top.

With a drawing file or just a small snippet we could help you more to the point.

Some questions:
- Printing from the Print Preview (Ctrl+Shift+P) or from Paper Space?
- Or Print (Ctrl+P) or Print Current View (Ctrl+Alt+P)?
- Have you set the option Black/White mode?
- Did you use exporting to pdf (XD) or the pdf button in the print preview?

One can also print to a logical pdf printer e.g. PDFCreator but the export method is by far more accurate.

I am able now to create a PDF and print it if I enable B/W mode after selecting CTRL-Shift-P.
However not getting any drawing in B/W or greyscale if i use CTRL-P and a direct print. It looks OK in the Preview (enclosed) but for the moment the only way around is to first create the pdf.

Akki,

in the screen grab:
At the red cross one can see a minute white rectangle what represents your paper.
What is gray is outside the paper.

You might want to adapt the print scale.
