Hi Laurent An easy (crude) way to do a high quality printout is to generate a very high resolution raster image just by stitching tiles.
I don't know if it's helpful for you because you're on a slow internet connection, but I've just made a big image if Kalemie for you It's 9216 x 15360 pixels. That's 6 Mb to download. The kalemie.png link here: http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/kalemie/ The smaller kalemie-thumb.png gives feel for what it looks like and where the map covers. Getting HDM-cartoCSS might be a smarter solution. Maybe someone can advise you on the hardcoded paths problem (/home/ybon/...) (Yohan Boniface?)

We're gearing up in preparation for a cholera vaccination campaign, and quite possibly other emergency actions as the annual cholera epidemic is looming around. I have spent several days updating OSM both remotely and locally to get a decent map of the city (there's still a lot to do though), but I'm now stuck trying to get a usable printout. I've tried several options (maperitive, maposmatic, osm bright/tilemill, QGIS import...) but nothing seems to work (I want a pdf output so I can print on several A4 pages and tape them together, showing streetnames and other landmarks). Ideally, I'd get https://github.com/hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS to work, but same thing there, no luck despite following the readme. I'd love to give some more detailed symptoms, but all I can say is: - errors in tilemill due to hardcoded paths (/home/ybon/...) - no visible reaction from tilemill after I close the error messages I'm on a satellite connection (ie: pretty slow and expensive) so this might explain the absence of reaction. I think this is not the official help channel for HDM-cartoCSS, but I hope this will reach the right people. I'd be immensely grateful for any help getting this to work (is there a detailed tutorial out there for places other than Haiti?), or suggestions on an alternative solution for printing out an osm based map (that does not involve downloading huge data!).
