An application I'm working on permits the user to perform a screendump to the printer. However, it only works on an ImageWriter. This didn't surprise me, since Apple's FKEY #4 doesn't work on the LaserWriter either, and I presume we were both printing the same way - calling PrCtlCall with the parameters that would cause a screen dump. How can I screendump to the LW, then (in a way that would be compatible with the IW as well)? Would something like this work? Open a printing port, and then do a copybits from the screen's bitmap to the printing port's bitmap? Any help, hints, and/or sample code (preferably LSC) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Ben Waldman waldman@endor.harvard.edu
