Newbie - Ask print and filename

2002-12-30 Thread mailjjt
Is there a documented (or undocumented) procedure to invoke the system 
printer dialog in Windoze along with specifying a region to print?  I am 
looking for something like:

print this card from x,y to x2,y2 with answer printer

... to allow the user to select which printer to use.

As a side note, anyone ever come across a way of getting the list of 
available printers on a Windoze system with or without a DLL.

As a second side note (wheels turning as I type), is it possible to 
print multiple regions simultaneously on a single page.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Newbie bounding box print issue

2002-12-30 Thread mailjjt
Playing around with printing in MetaCard 2.4 on Win 2K I'm seeing an 
anomaly when printing a region (any region) of a card.  Along the bottom 
and right edges of the printed region a border or bounding box about 2 
pixels wide is being printed.  The border does not appear along the left 
or top edges of the print region.  The color is that of the Background 
color assigned to the stack.  The printer is a color postscript Xerox 
and I just downloaded the latest drivers.  The behavior is the same with 
old and new drivers.  Printing to a Postscript file and converting the 
resulting Postscript to PDF with Acrobat yields the same results.

Is this normal behavior?  Is this something I can "turn off" or 
compensate for in some manner?


Thanks for any suggestions.
