Printing Tutorial, Tips

What I desperately need at this point is some info on printing. Can't figure it out to save my life. Well, I can get stuff to print, but through sheer trial and error. Can someone tell me how to position things properly on a page...does each page form feed automatically, or do you do that with the NewPrinterPage command? (Hmmm....was that a dumb question?)...and how would you select the font used to print...how to print landscape (or is that done automatically through the "print properties" dialog?)

I basically just need to know the basics on how to get what I see on the screen onto the page accurately. If I keep wasting paper in my wife's printer trying to figure this out, she'll murder me in my sleep!

Thanks!
Bryan

That's OK...I'm continuing with the trial and error...got some stuff figured out-- just enough to be dangerous! :)

Thanks,
Bryan

Sorry, I've no tutorial for you. But in the CodeArchive on PureArea.net are several PB & WinAPI printing examples included. You can take a look.... :wink:
