I can not print my family tree which cosists of about 400 names
am I the only one who can not perform this simple task

there are some good point about the new G.R. site, but not being able to print the tree like we could do on the old site seems a step backwards.

after some months of not completing this task and two emails to G/R we still get the same message, your tree is to big to print, what a load nonsence for a platinum subcription which will not be renewed nexr time its due :-|

Otherwise you will be sticking sheets of paper together

There have been problems for some time for some time and if you look at the Help Pages you will see that GR are well aware there are issues.

" We know that some members are having problems printing their trees at the moment, and we're really sorry about this. We're still making a number of improvements to the tree, including the printing function.

If you’re having problems, as a temporary solution, try exporting your tree from the site as a Gedcom file. Then you can print it offline using a family tree software package such as Family Tree Maker or Personal Ancestral File."

The site mentioned above will print you professional quality copy, for a fee of course, and is great if you want something to give as a special present or for family reunions.

From my own perspective, I print from my Tree program on my PC. Depending on the audience it is intended for I tend to use either a Descendant or Pedigree chart to show the basic structure and relationship structure and a Descendant or Ahnentefal Report to fill in details.

I use FTM but there are many other alternatives you might try.
