I am able to print a page. I am working on getting pagesize to find the number rows and cols i can print and start a new page on reaching the bottom. No support for headers or margins yet. I have code corresponding to 'win32 programming'. It is a dll and i am considering getting in touch with the author if it could be released uner gpl. -dky On 1/23/08, Jason Rumney wrote: > Lennart Borgman (gmail) wrote: > > Would it not help to use StartDoc etc (or whatever they are called) > > and send data to the printer like in the little c program Vinicius > > pointed to? > > It would help to do a lot of things.
