[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Printer Dumps

mcmahan@netcom.UUCP (Dave Mc Mahan) (03/28/90)

I wish to know if there is a way to print a large bitmap (800x700x3) to the
printer using the standard preferences printer.  I have tried using the
example in RKM Version 1.1, but all I can get is a dump of the current screen.
Is there a way to fake out the graphics driver by defining a view in software
that is never actually showed but has the proper pointers set to my Custom
BitMap?

Q from Dave Mc Mahan 28 mar 90
A Try using SCREENX in the PD (fish ..) author ??
  ScreenX let you select a window, type a filename or select the printer
  and you have a IFF-file.
  It displays also the time and sits in the WB bar.

Additionally, is there a way to print graphics without actually
generating a graphics screen?  For example, I might want to have text
printable with any of the fonts available (a la Notebook).  Or just I
just invest in the RKM's?  (If so, which one(s)?)
