1. RE: Printing
I can print fine from WordPad and NotePad and the program editor I use.
I just can't print anything using getPrinter(). I've issolated the
problem by placing a message_box before and after the getPrinter()
statement. I see the first messagebox message, followed by the Printer
Err and then my second messagebox message. The Printer Dialog does not
appear.

2. RE: Printing
I renamed Euphoria to something else then installed Eu 2.2 on the XP.
That is all I changed. The Printer Dialog works again. I renamed
Euphoria to something else and then installed Eu 2.3 from the zip file
version. The Printer Dialog works. Maybe my first installation had a
problem -- but on both machines? I'll see if doing this also clears up
the problem with the Win98 machine and report back.

3. RE: Printing
It worked with the Win98 machine also. I'm at a loss to know what
happened. I know I used the Installer for the Win98 but used the zip
version for the XP so that is not the problem. And I had renamed the
Euphoria folder prior to installation in both cases. <shrug>
Anyway all is now ok and I got a better printer out of this than the one
I first bought.

4. RE: Printing
I spoke to soon!
I had forgotten to run the patch to change EU exw from 3.1 to 4.0 and
after I applied it Printer Dialog no longer worked. That was the thing I
had changed, not versions of Euphoria nor types of printers.
So where is the problem, Eu or Win32lib?

5. RE: Printing
I can confirm your problem using a patched version of Eu version 2.2. I
never noticed because I don't print stuff using win32lib.
I'll dig in and find out what's happening (I'm willing to bet it's
Win32lib...)

6. RE: Printing
Not much help but I've run out of time for now.
xPrintDlg is returning 0 and CommDlgExtendedError is returning
PDERR_INITFAILURE. But only fails on patched version of interpretter.
I'll keep digging when I get a chance.
For what it's worth, I'm testing on XP and the SDK mentions:
Windows 2000/XP: The PrintDlg function has been superseded by the
PrintDlgEx function. (But we know it works using the unpatched
version...)
