Printing on printers

 [1/4] from: jr:brainbyte at: 23-Sep-2000 19:35


How would you direct output to a printer? thru a DLL or something like that? Thanks, Jeff Jeff Rubin, CTO & Co-Founder Audiopia Shutup and Listen... http://www.audiopia.com also check out my personal site Brainbyte! http://www.brainbyte.com

Hmmm... I guess I would have to purchase the Rebol/Command to do this? How would you direct output to a printer? Thanks, Jeff Jeff Rubin, CTO & Co-Founder Audiopia Shutup and Listen... http://www.audiopia.com also check out my personal site Brainbyte! http://www.brainbyte.com

Maybe there is no simple way for multiplatform aproach to printing. However - printing is so esential feature I wonder why RT haven't said a word about it. I think if you can - just generate .html output and browse it ... print from your browser. As for complex layout, you can probably use: save/png img: %my-image.png to-image layout [your layout code here] browse %my-image.png Hmm, maybe Carl or someone else could tell us what's the story with printing in REBOL? Would it be really complicated to add platform native print dialog call into REBOL? Thanks, -pekr-

from your browser. Earlier, I wrote a Rebol script that generated HTML and JavaScript so that the HTML document is automatically printed. I put it on this list, but I don't recall the message number. If you go hunting around the archive for the last month or two, you should find it.

printing in REBOL? Would it be really complicated to add platform native print dialog call into REBOL? It would be nice to have a print dialog in Rebol. Along with some sound code. And maybe joystick as well. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.ncbi.com/AndrewMartin/ http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/
