Okay, firstly i didn't know where to put this thread. Secondly, I need help.
I'm a PF AP subscriber, and i'd love to print the maps. I copy the images, and paste them into GIMP. Then i try scaling it to an appropriate size, so the squares are as close to 1" as possible. However, regardless of how many times i try, i simply cannot get it to print at the proper size. No matter how big it is in GIMP, it simply doesn't get a lot bigger than what it was. Example: scaling it by 450% only made it bigger by an inch when printed. Am I doing something wrong?
I use GIMP, Win XP Pro, and an Epson Stylus C120.
Not sure if this is the issue, but a quick search on Google for "gimp print scaling"

"In the Print dialogue, click the Image Settings and change the X and Y
resolution. If it is typically 96 dpi, your images will be huge. A
little trial and error and you will be able to work out a calculation to
fit any image to your paper size. "

Well, sorry, I don't do the printing stuff so I can't help, but at least you're not alone.
And yet you are.
So very, very,
Alone.

I'd put the Thread in the "Gamer Life" forum and try your luck there. "Off Topic Talk" is usually lighthearted, non-gaming chit-chat. "Gamer Life" seems more for this kind of stuff.
Good luck
