1. prt screen
Hi Euphorians,
I did a program which displays diagrams on the screen,
and I want to print them (A partial print screen).
Can somebody give me an idea how to do that ?
Thank you for any suggestion.

Don't know what your doing here.
LPT1 is the printer.
You should be able to do this.
integer printer
printer = open ("lpt1", "wb")
puts (printer, "Text going to printer.\n")
puts (printer, "More stuff to printer.\n")
close (printer)
\n is a linefeed you may need to include a
carriage return.
integer printer
printer = open ("lpt1", "wb")
puts (printer, "Text going to printer.")
puts (printer, {13, 10}) -- carriage return and linefeed.
puts (printer, "More stuff to printer.\n")
puts (printer, {13, 10}) -- carriage return and linefeed.
close (printer)
If you want to print graphics you will have to get or
develop a graphics driver for your printer.

Ok sorry, I forget to say that's in graphical mode.
Thank You yet for the help, it's useful.

It is in graphical mode 18
The printer is a Deskjet 520.
Sorry too.
My question was a little confuse. My wish is to print
a rectangular area of the screen. Always the same. This
area shows every time another diagram. e.g.

1. Use save_screen() to save a rectangular region of the screen
as a bitmap (.BMP) file.
2. Use a graphics program to print the .BMP file on your printer.

Mmmhh... If you have the know the adecuate printer ecape codes
for the your Deskjet printer, maybe I can help you code an Euphoria
graphics print routine (sounds great!). I have an HP 660C abd tried
several times get these guys at Hewlett Pachard CHILE fax me the info
(in the user manual they say they fax this info!!!). People at Epson
are better ;) in the user manual of my stylus 800+ comes a small (but
useful) documentation about setting the printer for graphics printing.
If you have time, search the web for information about "PCL",
that's the HP printing "protocol" (Epson uses ESC/P2).

I found some info about PCL at HP's homepage, the URL is:
Hope this help a bit.

9. prt screen
hi,
Thanks for all the help. I thought it'll be easy but with several
printers and different codes ... Well we did the survey of
the situation. Keeping in mind the 'philosophy' of sharring programs
the best for me is to save the screen and use a different program to
print the .BMP file, instead of making one working with _my_ hardware
only.
