how do print drawings

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/how do print drawings

I am programming a cabinate drawing program but can't figure
out how to print the drawing directly on to paper. hows it done as simply as posible?

I'm sorry but I can't understand your question.

What is a "cabinate" drawing program?

Do you want to use the computers printer?

Blitz does not have native printer access. You can use the BlitzPrinter userlib to access the printer.

save the picture to the imagebuffer that you are drawing on

Sorry for my confusing question. The program that I am making draws a scaled line drawing of bookshelves and other furnishings for my woodworking business. I want to be able to print to these drawings directly from my program to a printer.

I already downloaded BlitzPrinter userlib but am unable to make this library work with my computer. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on it and I need some clear instructions and example programs for accessing these printer library commands.

I have nearly completed the program and would be glad to email it to anyone who is interested in seeing it or possably helping me add a printing function to it.

Thank you for your help.

This forum really does need a proper search function.
