Re: Printing Again - gray background when printing
Gray background when printing but not visible on the screen.
I bugzilla-ed this WYSIWYG failure and the bugzilla was marked as not a bug.
I think the gray should show on the screen the same as it prints as it is
annoying. I wish we could re-bugzilla this and get it fixed as I believe
that it is definitely not a feature.

The gray background of the field is due to the fact that the default
background color is being inherited from the card, which in turn
inherits its default color from the stack, which in turn inherits its
default color from the engine. For whatever wacky reason (not really
relevant, I'd think), the default color of the engine is different for
printing than it is for display on the screen. Manually specify a
background color of white for the card to fix this problem.
As for the font issue, the card is being scaled when printed. By
default, 1 pixel on the screen maps to 1 point on the printer. Since
your screen is likely not 72 dpi (most have a higher resolution now),
the font appears bigger on the printout. Check the documentation on
the printScale property for more info.

To see if I can't get hold of this printing malarkey, I created a new
mainstack. I placed 1 field on the 1st card and set its 'showBorder'
to false. I pasted some text from texEdit into the field. I set the
font to monaco, and the size to 9. I chose print card' from the file
menu, and printed the card.
On screen, the card is plain white with some 9 point monaco text on it.
The printed page has a white border, the area of the field being light
grey. The text is at least 11 point.
To check, I printed the same text from texEdit, all appears on the
page as expected ie. 9 point monaco.
Is this normal? Does anyone recognise this?
TIA,
Mark

Re: Printing Again
Frank, thanks for this. All becomes a bit clearer...I just needed to know that this stuff is normal, so that the measures taken to deal with it are not just kludges that might break later on.

Re: Printing Again
Sorry to be dense, but doesn't this mean that in order to get a properly scaled print out, one must always know the resolution of the screen currently in use? For example, my laptop has a screen res of 100 pixels per inch, therefore, to print 9 point text on the screen as 9 point text on the page, I must use a printscale value of 0.72 (72/100). This works. Incidentally, the docs cover the use of the printscale property for printing reduced or enlarged, but there's no suggestion that it would be necessary to use it for simply printing 9 point text as 9 point text...still, it serves the purpose. But what if my app is printing from a computer with a different screen res? (I'm assuming, perhaps wrongly, that we can generally rely on printers using 72dpi). So then the question is, how can this screen dpi value be found? I haven't yet found anything in the docs, searching on 'screen', resolution', 'pixels', 'dpi', 'dot' or 'inch'. How does everyone deal with this, or do you just set it on your own machine and then hope for the best? Or perhaps I really am just being dense.

Re: Printing Again
This behavior, although logical, does not make since in a WYSIWYG environment. Does one ever see this inherited color except when printing? What would happen if the default was white instead of transparent? Is anyone actually printing on purpose the default color of the system on printed output? And if they are do they own stock in some ink cartridge company?:) Michael On Jan 28, 2005, at 5:17 PM, Frank D.

Re: Printing Again
Glad someone else thinks this should be fixed. Could you try your hand at
Bugzilla-ing this as I was unsuccessful?

Re: Printing Again - gray background when printing

No, they are correct; it is not a bug. The background is white on Mac
OS X by default, but under Windows, it is determined by color choices
the user makes in the control panel. The gray printing default is
maybe not ideal, but unless you explicitly specify a default color, you
aren't given any guarantees as to what color you will actually get.
You specify what you want, or you live with what you get.
And it is a feature, too: the default color is determined based on the
environment in which the image is being rendered; in this way, the
stack blends in with its environment. I agree that it makes more
sense to use a white background when printing, but it is not
unreasonable to require the user to specify this. Not at all.
