Re: Another Win32lib problem, and this may not be fixable.

Hmmm, I guess I should really do something about printing on Phix. About 20 years ago I wrote
a rather ambitious Print Preview module, win32lib-based, maybe I could try resurrecting that.
I pretty much lost track of things back when printers started getting connected via USB ports...
I have no idea where this may take us but this needs solving properly, so let's just get stuck in.
Have you tried running your program on Phix? Is there any source code available?
Have you tried trace(3), see if that drops any clues where to start looking?
Can we be sure that none of the define_c_func/proc/var() are yielding -1?
Can you print a test page via, say, Notepad? It makes sense to rule out hardware/driver issues.
Are there any win32lib printing docs worth reading to be had?
Is there anything on www.rosettacode.org or board.flatassembler.net or similar that might be useful?
Sure, I'll have a scout around myself, but extra eyes cannot hurt and anything that can easily be built
and works would be a huge help. Separate examples for Windows and Linux are wanted, at least here.
