We have recently begun to program in TPW, and haven't been able to find almost any information about controlling printer and printing from TPW. So far we have succeeded to get some text out, but when we try to change any printer settings (i.e. copies, orientation, etc.) from the program, only result we have managed to get is an UAE. So if someone has already succeeded in printing from a TPW-program and even controlling the printer, we would be very interested to see how it exactly should happen. If you could send some fragments of code to demonstrate this, we would be very grateful. -- Panu Juvonen juvonen@niksula.hut.fi

Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows", MS Press contains detailed info. on adding printer support to C language Windows programs. Should be easy to transliterate his examples to Pascal (I program in both C and Pascal). Second best is MS Press' "Guide to Programming". If you do advanced printing, the "Prog. Reference" from MS Press is recommended. Terrell

I haven't even been able to get anything out at all... I think a lot of people have the same problem, so if you could post your source code it would be much appreciated! Then as people get things working they might perhaps post it too - in that way we don't have to spend time writing code which already exists! If somebody already has a working example - please share it with the rest of us! Best regards JPO
