It works fine for me either local or networked but I only have an Epson 860
printer to test it with. I would also appreciate some feedback.
RE: email from David Hendrix
Thanks for your replies to the questions. To summarise:
printers are networked
non-Epson
screen resolution has no effect
it prints, but only prints a blank page
Sounds like a bug in my code. I am not a Windows printing expert and I was
frankly surprised that I managed to make the settings persistant at all. The
make of printer shouldn't matter, I use Windows calls for everything.
The bug with the --printcfg command-line option/config file setting doesn't
apply to the latest version 0.9.12.
A few more questions:
With the --printcfg command line switch or the config file printcfg=yes
setting, are you able to configure the printer and the printer settings?
Does Tux Paint remember the settings between sessions?
I would like to eliminate the question of the persistant settings.
What happens if you delete the 'print.cfg' file under 'userdata', start
Tux Paint *without* either --printcfg or printcfg=yes and just print using
the system-wide default printer?
Are you able/prepared to build Tux Paint from source?
Would you be willing to try executables that I might send (virus scanned
first)? [I am easy to find on Google]
I will search for up-to-date examples of how to do printing properly. The MS
documentation I have doesn't cover the overall strategy of printing very
well.
Will get back to you,
cheers,
John.
