Now that I know how to change the printer prefs (Thanks!), I have one more question: How can I work out the maximum size for a graphic dump ? If I send a DUMPRPORT request with SPECIAL_NOPRINT, SPECIAL_FULLCOLS and SPECIAL_FULLROWS, it sets io_DestCols & io_DestRows, but adjusts them so that the ratio of my RastPort is preserved. Is there any way round this ? If not, any easy way to work these out from the returned values ? (I want the margins, left offset, etc to be taken into account of course.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Gay 6 x 9 = 42 GAY@ELDE.EPFL.CH, or GAY%ELDE.EPFL.CH@CLSEPF51.bitnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The simplest way is to set io_DestCols and io_DestRows to some enormus value (like 5000). The printer device will chop these numbers down so that they fit on the paper. Another way would be to set these values explicitly in preferences (on the 2nd printer graphic screen) under the Limits heading of Pixels.
