How to print ENTIRE family tree

also - you refer to "tree" (which is normally a synonym for your pedigree - which is an ancestral view - not a descendant view).
a person can very literally have millions of ancestors and relatives . . . well beyond any printing capabality . . . where do you draw the line . . . ???

also note - you have numerous ancestors.
If you picked any one of them - and showed their descendants - the list of descendants for each ancestor would be unique for each ancestor.
In short - there is no simple chart that would show both ancestors and descendants.
the complexity of trying to show all the descendants of all of your ancestors - explodes exponentially as you increase the number of generations.

Do you really want a chart that big?1

This requestor probably created a small family tree that he/she wanted to print. It very possibly could have been a kid trying to complete a school project, or a grandchild trying to show their grandparent how they are related to a famous distant cousin.
Obviously the requestor did not create a complete family tree and try to print the entire thing.
If you knew the solution the requestor was looking for, you could have easily said “you can print everyone in your tree by following these directions:______. Note, however, you may not be able to fit everyone in your tree on one piece of paper, so you may need to make the text small or print on multiple pages.”
Tasks that seem simple in theory are not always so easy to accomplish. This is a great example: it’s not easy to show and print all 20 relatives in a family tree created for a school project, and it’s not easy to get help from people in a community.
