Printing in LV 6.1 is a real pain

I recently finished a larger VI and wanted to print it to test if this is an
option for a final documentation. But it doesn't work properly.

As it got pretty large I didn't want to print on A4 but to use our large
format printer (inkjet) printing on A2 landscape. The preview is well enough
(it's not comparable to a CAD program, the alignment is sometimes pretty
poor and with some interaction one could spare much space) but I *never* get
this on paper! Some errors that occur:

* print out isn't similar to the preview at all
* parts are mirrored (!):
- sometimes all the text is mirror (left-right or up-down, even
both), but the structure isn't (so the diagram looks normal but you can't
read any text but from the backside (
if you're lucky)
- it happens also, that just some things are mirror, e. g. the
question marks of case structures

So has someone experiences with printing out of LabVIEW (preferably on
large format printers, *but* not printing?

Thanks

Could you print out to an HTML file first and use a different program with better printer handling capabilities? If nothing else, you could use the image files created to make your own docs using any office type program.
