Is that all you want???
Heck, I thought you were asking for something that might be difficult
to add into Arachne. <g>
That's an easy one.
1) edit \arachne\system\gui\prtbmp.ah and add this button just after the
"Preview Button".
<!-- existing button -->
<FORM ACTION="file://_4prt.bmp"><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Preview">
<TD>
<TR><TD>
<!-- new button -->
<FORM ACTION="file://printbmp.dgi"><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Print BMP">
2) edit mime.cfg and add this line
file/printbmp.dgi |[100]f:\\graphics\\printgfd\\printgfd.exe _4prt.bmp /x
(change the line to match the path, program_name and command line
options needed for the graphics printing program of your choice)
If you need Printgfd.exe
http://www.concentric.net/~ravitz/printgf.zip
To use this funtion, just press Cntrl+P and then press "Print BMP"
*** A word of warning ****
You will be unable to do anything
else while waiting for the image
to finish printing.
**************************
I know, I know...
Now you want "background image printing". <g>
I'll work on it and get back to you. :)
