How about an expanded set of PRINT commands

I think it would be really useful to have an expanded set of printout commands dealing with the printer output.

The ability ot format the output, center text, left justify , right justify etc.

Better control of printed fonts by font size of mm high would be nice as well.

just use HTML to describe your output and the WebGadget to render it. Printing is done easily with this link:

PBs lack of a good printing solution really isnt a problem - with HTML + WebGadget + these simple API tricks, anything is possible (easily)

Actually that is a wretched way to print in an application like the one I am recoding in PB.

I went with: PrinterLib [PB v4] from the www.purearea.com site http://www.purearea.net/pb/english/index.htm

It has been a bit tetchy, and the docs are not well developed but it does work...

There is even a print preview (which needs some serious revamp) feature!
