Note: If you wish to print OpenStreetMap or Bing datasets, it is advisable to create the SWD using the WGS84.Pseudo Mercator Coordinate Reference System, i.e. add this layer to the SWD first.

If you create an SWD in OSGB, or other Coordinate Reference System, and then add the OpenStreetMap or Bing, you will need to set the Coordinate Reference System to the WGS84.Pseudo Mercator CRS or Popular Visualisation Mercator, before printing.
