Hello, I am posting this for a friend of mine who does not have Internet Access: Has anyone had any trouble using GDI to print to various members of the HP printer family? I am providing a simple x, y plot, the y axis label with simply characters on top of one another.This works for the 2 printers I have (Apple LaserWriter II and the Epson FX-80). However, the HP Deskjet does not print at all -- a customer says Print Manager queue shows the job, but nothing happens. The HP LaserJet IIIP and IIp are unreliable -- the 300 DPI mode may work, but 75 and 150 DPI show part of the graph with the y axis label missing. Without going on too much: I am trying to provide device independent printing for a simple x, y plot, I am inquiring of the printer via GetDeviceCaps() its resolution, pixels per logical inch etc., but the results are not homogeneous (especially it seems for the HP). What am I doing wrong? Anyone have any similar problems? Doug Please EMAIL any responses to hruska@ecs.umass.edu Thank You For Your Support Mark Hruska hruska@ecs.umass.edu
