Mick...
I have a Family tree, on a Brothers Keeper 6.1.40 programme.
I am at the moment printing this on A4 paper and joining them with
sellotape.

When I go to print with either my Canon Pixma IP 3000 or Canon S820
There is a tab in the B K print setup box to print on a Continues sheet of
paper.
Can either of my Canon printers be set to do this?

Charles Ellson...
I suspect not if those are inkjet printers; IME such printers tend to
be preset so that anything over 15-18 inches is treated as a paper jam
with the printer going into "eject" mode if it doesn't see the end of
a page by then. Even if it will print for many inches the friction
feed normally used tends not to be immune from allowing the paper to
wander off-centre.


If a different printer is required can anyone who has printed them out like
this please advise?

Charles Ellson...
Unless you can find an inkjet printer that uses continuous paper then
you'll need to find a dot-matrix printer with a tractor-feed; using
teleprinter paper (with no sprocket holes) with the friction feed
again tends to allow the paper to wander unless you have a printer
with the carrier specific to such paper.


Also is it possible from the B K programme to send the file to a CD or DVD
writer and then get it printed elsewhere?

Charles Ellson...
"Print to file" using text/generic driver; don't forget to
double-check that the line length is (effectively) unlimited.

I would like them to still have the photos printed as well.

Hoping someone can help,
Mick.
