I wish I had advice for you, Ron, but I simply hit the button. Yes, my whole chart came out perfect. Unbeknownst to me, however, it had generated a chart that was less than four inches high, and thus completely useless.
I love my chart, but would like it a lot better if I could figure out how to get it printed. So far, I have tried: 1. Generating a pdf of the chart, to send to the printer. This didn't work because pdf won't generate more than 200 inches in width 2. Sending, via YouSendIt.com, the whole actual chart file, and asking the printer to download the free software. This didn't work because although the printer had installed the charting software, the file threw up an error message indicating that he didn't have access to the whole Legacy genealogy file (which, of course, he didn't) 3. I generated the jpg, which appeared to be perfect, and happily sent it off to the printer, once more with YouSendIt.com, because it was an enormous file. The printer e-mailed me that although it was, indeed, perfect in every other way, it was just a bit more than three inches in height. So far, I'm stymied. Has anyone else managed to print a very long chart?

Mine is still loosing the right side no matter what I have done, including uninstalling, deleting every file connected with the charting program and redownloading/installing, all to no avail. It is an eight generation descendant chart and only 160" wide.
