Printer control
« Thread started on: Oct 31st, 2010, 05:50am » |

Hi,
How can I change the orientation of the printer paper without user control. In one area I need the program to automatically select landscape.

This is in the main Help documentation. See 'Accessing the Windows API... Printing in landscape format' or read it online here:
http://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/manual/bbcwine.html#landscape
Searching for 'landscape' in the Help viewer (F1 then Search tab) offers this as the second hit!

Hi,
I have a graphic (that I can change to any format) and I want to be able to print this (through the printer) at a particular place on the page. Can you tell me how I can do this, please?

Doesn't this Wiki article answer the question?
http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/Sending+image+files+to+the+printer
If not, please explain what you want to do that isn't covered there.

No, this is fine. Minor adjustments and it should fit in nicely.
I'll put Wiki in my favourites.
Thanks.

Don't forget you can access it directly from the BB4W Help menu: Help... Wiki.
