Educate me on Printing

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

I thought I new how to print in windows using Win32 but apparently I don't
know...or I'm missing the point all together.

I've been using this

fontSize = getFontSize( Printer ) -- get the font metrics

and spacing down the page like this

    line += 1
    setPosition(Printer,0,line*fontSize[2])
    wPuts(Printer,"stuff")

where line is the line number down the page

The problem is I get different spacing from printer to printer as you go down.
the page. The laser does one thing and the inkjet is different. So I can't fill
in forms consistently (like labels for addresses etc)

Can someone explain how to make a printer output the same from one to the
other?
