I'm missing something simple here. Although having worked with MC for 4
years, its the first time I've written an app which has to print from
windows. 

On the mac something like...

on mouseup
    answer printer
    if the result is not "Cancel" then
        print card
    end if
end mousep

...works a treat. It opens the Print Setup box where I can choose the
settings. The card is then printed appropriately.

On windows these settings are ignored, and no matter what, printed in
portait.

I considered creating my own print dialog box. This could, however, miss
some important features of the windows users printer which are already
available in their Print Setup box. eg my epson offers Lanscape/Portrait,
scaling, B&W/Colour, Number of copies, print range, quality-speed, paper
type etc.... I really don't want to have to recreate all of these in my own
print box (and most, I think, would be impossible).

So, what am I missing ?

TIA
