Printing under Linux

vekem · Post by **vekem** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 5:21 pm

The PureBasic help files tells the printing functions (PrintRequester etc) are available under Linux, but 3.91 doesn't knows it...

Is anybody printing with PureBasic under Linux?

Thanks,
Markus

The printer functions aren't available on linux. I'm looking to a standard solution for the problem (probably writing a .ps file or something similar).

Meanwhile I tried libg2 (http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libg20) getting results. But PureBasic can't handle the DOUBLE-Parameters used with its functions. (for example EUPHORIA has no problems).

libg2 would be fine,because it is available on most Linux systems.

Maybe PureBasic 4.x has DOUBLEs working with external libraries?

@Fred : Any word on this? I am considering using PureBasic for a linux project, but it has heavy printing requirements.

What is/will be the solution for printing on Linux?

I'm not sure of what to use for now, have to take a closer look to it.

Cups is by far the most standard used with *nix OSes.
