1. Printing a bitmap
Hi Everyone,
About a week ago someone asked how to print a bitmap. Maybe I missed
something but I haven't seen an answer yet. So to me the question
remains: how to print a bitmap / pixmap? (On paper)
Bye,
Jasper.

I've got a somewhat 'broken' and overly complicated demo at:
http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/bits8.zip
( note: only prints 256 color bitmaps or less, in one of 3 sizes.
.. on some color printers it will report a win32lib error, but if you
select to continue, it will usually print the image anyways ! )
< blah..blah>
Seems to me that changing a few of the internal routines in win32lib into
global functions that returned the DC, ( device context ), for anything
relating to dib's, bitmaps, fonts, printers, etc... *might* make this sort
of thing a lot easier.
For example, getPrinterChoice() currently returns:
-- information the user selected
return { fromPage, toPage, copies }
... why not return PRINTDLG_hdc as well ? ... might come in handy ?
