There's really no concept of foreground and background in a printed page. The stuff you print last goes over the top of the stuff you print first. So, after you do StartDoc, you'd need to draw your image with DC.BitBlt. That's skipping over the details of how you get a bitmap object from an image file... > This printer-code is inside a while loop calling each people name from > a sqlite database per check condition. > 2) All the names of database was printed at same page... how i command > the printer to spit out 1 page per name from the database? If you really had that code inside a loop, you should see one print job per person, with one page per job. I assume you'd rather have one print job (one "document") with multiple pages. You ought to be able to figure that out. Everything up through StartDoc is creating the "document", and should be done once. Everything between StartPage and EndPage is creating a page. You'd want that inside your loop. > 3) Any more simple approach or module to deals with printers (paper > and/or pdf) will be welcome. Printing is surprisingly hard, especially when working directly with the Win32 API as you are. I use the ReportLab package for creating PDFs, but it seems like your task is simple enough that you ought to be able to make this work. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
