There was an option in the print dialogue, I&#39;m sure.<br/><br/>I have a feeling it was removed during one of those Involuntary Upgrades that Microsoft has been doing.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been using Windows for years because of various collaborative things that broke when going from Word to LibreOffice.

This was painted #EnPleinAir, on the second day of a course in #PaletteKnife painting. The weather was closing in, and I had to paint fast to cover the canvas before the rain got to it. It&#39;s the best thing I did all week.<br/><br/>So I learnt that I have to work fast. By all means, look, think, try to be considered, but once the thinking is done, move fast.<br/><br/>#OilPainting #Painting<br/> <img src="https://media.mathstodon.xyz/media_attachments/files/113/701/642/310/776/438/original/3a046692c9353dd0.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-23T10:22:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8375hwah8klycl0lylpz0rn37d3gusjrdc80legmre0n48vyav4czypqxj65w0qy63g0lvyezfq9zev9dn7fpmd4wntnfutlql6dz6hv3vh9kzcl For the #ArtAdventCalendar today, St Chad&#39;s Church, Farndon, done in #OilPastel and #EnPleinAir earlier this year...<br/><br/>#Painting<br/> <img src="https://media.mathstodon.xyz/media_attachments/files/113/622/520/908/414/660/original/abef8c1fc6df5e62.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-09T11:01:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz6whmnnumm6gmedd6ldvs6c0peqy967mdn5q9duw50700j0s4hyczypqxj65w0qy63g0lvyezfq9zev9dn7fpmd4wntnfutlql6dz6hv3vz4y8xc Another sunny day for the #ArtAdventCalendar.<br/><br/>I&#39;m frankly astonished by this one.
