Those old maps, Mary, that you listed http://mujweb.cz/www/mapy/ for are great! I'm trying to see if I can enlarge them to 100% so I can get a clear print out of them. I need to use a magnifier to view the names of the towns, and thus far have only found how to print the upper left corner of the page. Do you know why?

Of the ones I have worked with, they are all 300 dpi and about 8 x 10 inches. That means you should be able to print them on a standard sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 photopaper and read them. I did that today with all of the Moravia pictures and the results were stunning. Most MS Windows operating systems come with a simple standard viewer. Windows 97 used MS Imager and XP uses something that has no name and is not as versatile as Imager. There are several "freebee" viewers out there that give some control over printer size, but I use Photoshop and PaintShop Pro for image work. Once you get a good "viewer", you should be able to get it to print on a full sheet by using one of the printing options.
