Im trying to print out my family tree but whenever I push the print button is just brings up a blank box. Does anyone else have this problem? :-S

It is one of the things broken when the brave new look was brought in. According to IGP the brave new look meant we could at last have a system which can be maintained and updated. Not.

If you need a print yr only option is to export yr tree to a GED file and then import it into another software program and print it from there. Most of the "free" programs have a limit of about 5 generations. However "GRAMPS for Windows" has no such limitations, 100% free.

The exported GED file will arrive by e-mail so make sure yr e-mail address is up to date.

It is a good idea to have a PDF print driver installed eg DoPDF. YOu can then print to the PDF file and have a look at the result before committing to using up a lot of ink and paper.

good luck
