The solution is to add a "Setup P&rinter..." submenu under the "File" menu. When the user chooses the submenu, call the code presented in Petzold, pp. 731, 732. Anyway when the user selectes the "Setup P&rinter" submenu, that person will be presented with a big dialog box allowing them to change the configuration of the printer (including changing from portrait to landscape & vice versa). Then when your program gets an hdc for the printer and starts issuing gdi commands, they will be printed as requested by the user. Note: I know that this works fine with graphics. I don't know how text is handled (esp. device fonts for dot matrix printers). However I will know in a few days. Terrell
