Printing to my Printer
#8
Quote:I'm not sure where that font came from bplus. The only printed version of that rain/spain phrase was on my computer screen and it did not look like that. Your code does work for me but I agree the font looks awful. I expected the screen font to be the same font directed to the printer. The only thing I thought I needed to worry about was the difference in rows/columns I had on the screen v's that available to me in an 8x10 piece of paper in the printer.



Sorry I misspoke, it's not the font that is the problem, it is the stretching and shrinking of it to fit in the image containers. If you keep the ratios of screen to printer paper the same the font will not be badly distorted. When I was printing calendars from screen I used _PutImage to rotate from portrait to landscape view for _PrintImage, Rotozoom could do it too.

For an 8.5 x 11 inch paper = (4.25 x 5.5) * 100 is  425 x 550. Try that screen size in code I modified. Should magnify the print with little distortion.

Or the 210 x 297 ratio .7070 hmm... 8.5/11 = .7727...If your paper is 210 x 297 something units, try screen size 420 X 594.
b = b + ...
