Printing

Sun Jul 14 14:51:58 CDT 2002

I am trying to test my program which does a simple print preview in VB but
cant get that far yet.

Setup: CUPS HPLJ4 setup (CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.0)

When I run the program and it starts accessing the printer
(GetCompatibleDC/FindPrinterInfo?) it complains about AFM fonts. I tried
adding /usr/share/fonts/afms/adobe to the afmdirs in the config file and
although I get different trace, I get the same message.

Reading the winehq guide to printing it doesnt mention anything about
setting up afmdirs and I read that wine should be able to do it itself for
Type 1 fonts, but I have no idea where this is going wrong. I've hunted
dejanews (goole groups) and although I can find lots of hits on these
messages I couldnt find anything clear.

Questions...
1. Should I need to install AFM fonts - 4.7.2.1.4 of
http://www.winehq.com/Docs/wine-user/printing.shtml implies not. However
this implies I need a PPD file for my printer, but 4.7.2.1.1 implies there
is no further configuration required.

The 'funny' side is I dont care too much about the printing just yet - I
just want to be able to query the dimensions to test the rest of mq code!!
