Draw, and StretchDraw fail on many printers. You may also be told to use StretchDIBits(), however, StretchDIBits() requires about 2000 lines of low level graphics support code to work well, else many of your customers may receive blank or garbled pages If you do not need to deploy your applicaition, and it will only run on the printer, computer, and operating system you are using now, then use StretchDraw(). If you plan to deploy your applicaiton, or you will be using your application on other printers, computers, and other versions of Windows, then you will need to invest in a reliable printing unit. Take a look at TExcellentImagePrinter, available at: http://www.code4sale.com/joehecht Joe -- Delphi, graphics, and printing specialist available - $35/hr http://www.code4sale.com/codeit/index.htm
