Steve The MapX list is via the MapInfo website - in my experience although the company monitored it and joined in the threads it wasn't "censored" - worth a look. You need a site pass but thats free.
MapX isn't a print server in the same way that MI Pro is (for all the limitations of the layout windows they are at least there). MapX is a developer component and you have to build your own equivalents. The PrintMap method essentially dumps the current screen onto a queue - not what you want. There may be MI partners who have done this by now - not sure. A colleague at MI in Windsor (hello Aileen) came up with a good solution - create a new MapX object with the same layers as your current screen but set its visibility off and blow it up to the size of your desired output e.g. A0. Export the image to a JPG or whatever (ExportMap method) and then use a Word template or similar to load it up with the headers/footers you need and output it. Then throw away your new MapX instance. This was a few versions ago (3.5 I think) and it might be that the ExportMap method will give you the quality output you need without having to expand your source image. I've been using it with 4.5.1 and its fine but we're only working with A4 or similar.
