I am trying to print a descendant chart and as others have commented the print is so small that it can’t be read. The setting I’m using are:
Box Spacing 4.98
Generation Spacing 5
Box Width 8.95
Font TNR 16 & Arial 16
This prints on 1 page regardless if I have unchecked the Fit to Page. When I print a 3 generation chart I get a chart that is 1 inch wide. By that I mean all 3 generations fit into a 1 inch band.
I have tried printing directly from RM and saving to a .pdf but get the same results.
How do I get a hard copy of the Descendant Chart that is readable.

If you own RM7, would it be simpler to import a gedcom from RM10 to RM7 and print the descendant report from there. I recall having printed descendant charts/reports in the past.
I can say that I have had random issues with printing reports. I am not sure if it has to do with Windows updates or working with Book Reports. I have not been able to replicate other than sometimes the 2nd same database work fine from different computer which means it not something specific to database. I am now wondering if it has to with working with books more than windows updates and the XML settings are getting confused.

The method is to use the Fit to Chart option:
Then, when you select the Print Report option, uncheck the Fit on Page option:
The Scaling and Oversized Poster options can then be used to adjust the output.
EDIT
This also works for Ancestor, Hourglass & Fan charts
