It sounds to me like you need to make it smaller in the print settings on your computer - Most of our kits print at 12x12 inches and unless you have a large format printer they wont print - Look for somewhere in your printer settings where you can reduce the size to 8x8 inches - or reduce the size of the layout to 8x8 inches and then try to print

thx but i done this and nothing outers happens!
theres always one or two sides wich are not printed,some kits are only the half printed at the side of the copi.

yes, it's just too big for the paper. In PS/PSE you can check a box in the print dialog box called "Fit" to shrink the longest side. You'll have extra paper you'll need to trim.

Quadrat sounds like rectangle to me. If you're scrapping at a size larger than your paper you'll need to reduce the until the longest size fits on the paper and trim the excess from the short side.

Let us know what software you're printing from, what size your layouts are, and what size paper you print on, and we can help you shrink it to fit.

My German co-worker tells me that a quadrat is a square.

The page you want to print is a square (quadrat) but your printer paper is a rectangle (viereck).

You need to shrink the layout to fit. In the print dialogue there should be an option to 'shrink to fit' or similar.

Like Emma said, tell us what software you are using and we can tell you how to make it fit on your paper. Keep asking us until we help you get it. :)

I took a look at Anni's gallery and saw that she uses kits by German designer Doreen Stolz that are originally made at 200 dpi and 8 inches,so her layouts are not too big to get them printed out.She also mentions in her profile that she uses PSP 8 and Photoimpact XL.I'll try to explain what to do in Photoimpact.Sorry to post this bilingual mix.
In PI geht es wie folgt:drucken-->Vorschau.Und dann sieht man folgende Optionen:
Papiergrösse-->A4.
Layoutausrichtung-hoch oder quer.Ich neheme immer "hoch" wenn ich ein Quadrat ausdrucke.
Die Häckchen beim Titel,vertikal zentrieren und horizontal zentrieren müssen weg.
Dann unbedingt auf verfügbaren Platz einpassen und los geht's.
Du wirst auf Vorschau einen Quadrat ca 20x20 cm=8x8 Zoll sehen und unten auf der Seite sollen
ca 10 cm leer sein.
Hoffentlich hilft das.
Noch eine wichtige Option,aber vielleicht hängt sie vom Druckertyp ab.
Unter "Name des Druckers" das Druckerzeichen anklicken und Papiertyp auswählen.Es soll entweder Premium Fotopapier oder Fotopapier sein.Wenn der Drucker auf einfaches Papier eingestellt ist,ist die Qualität wesentlich schlechter.
