Probably not. It will depend on the backend. For example, if you save in PS or EPS, the dpi is ignored and the vector graphics will be sent to the printer and should print in true figure sizes. If you print png to the printer, I suspect what happens will depend on the software you are using to print and the printer driver, since the png will have to be converted into some language the printer understands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
