We are still having problems with printing a bitmap to a PostScript
printer from our Windows application. The bitmap in question is a
representation of the main program window which we are also displaying
to the monitor.
 
That is, we are just trying to be able to do a screen printout from
within our Windows app.
 
Printing works fine on every printer other than PostScript printers.
 
This is the source which accomplishes the printing:
 
     StretchBlt(hPr,xMargin,yMargin,(int)(xScaleFactor*PasteBitmap.bmWi
dth),
     (int)(yScaleFactor*PasteBitmap.bmHeight),hMemoryDC,
     0,0,PasteBitmap.bmWidth,PasteBitmap.bmHeight,SRCCOPY);
 
 
Does anyone have any suggestions why this doesn't work for PostScript
printers? Any sample source code which does print a bitmap successfully
to a PostScript printer would be greatly appreciated.
 
We've really been banging our heads against the wall on this one.
 
Thanks.
 
Robert
