If a Photon application had a print context open and the program
terminates prematurely, i.e. SIGSEGV, then phs-to-ps ends up looping at
priority 10.
Something should detect this and release the print context so that
phs-to-ps doesn’t loop. Or else, phs-to-ps (and I assume other printer
drivers) should have the logic to deal with this gracefully.
I have another printing bug.
My application loads the default printer context
( PpLoadDefaultPrinter() ). It then calculates for itself how much paper
is available to print on by querying the Paper Size, Resolution,
Orientation and Margins that are defined for that printer.
When the printer is set up for portrait mode, all works as expected.
When the printer is set up for landscape mode, all of the PC parameters
that my program receives are exactly the same, including Orientation. So
it generates the exact sasme page image.
HOWEVER, when the image prints it IS rotated on the page and scaled down
to fit on the paper.
I want to take advantage of the additional paper width when I choose
landscape mode. Why is the print system doing this?
What else must I query to know that I should format my page for landscape
mode?
Hi Bill,
How are you getting the application to start phs-to-ps filter? Do you have
a small sample app that you can post that reproduces this problem?

Brenda

Hi Bill,
I am looking into this issue for you and will post as soon as I have more
info for you.

I have an HP4100N network printer. I can print to it in either PCL or
PostScript. PostScript generally looks better so that’s what I usually
choose.
In my application I am simply calling PpLoadDefaultPrinter().
I querry Paper Size, Margins, Resolution and Orientation and then I Set
Source Size.
When I want to change the “default attributes” of the printer I go into
Helpviewer, click on the Print Button, and go into Preferences on the
Select Printer Dialog. I change whatever, and then select “Save Personal
Defaults”. Then I Cancel Out of the Printer Preferences and Printer Select
Dialogs.
My app is not small. But I can stript it and post it if you want.

Hi Bill,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. How big is your app? I just
want to make sure it isn’t too big to post to the newsgroup.

I can FTP it to my old QUICS account. It’s ‘bcaroselli’.
Give me about two hours. I just got back from an illness.
I’m catching up in the office.
Tell me what parts you want?
Executable?
Stripped or not?
All sources?

Hi Brenda
Gee, you and I have been busy together today.
I had to re-read backward through this whole thread to remember what the
original question was that I asked. The issue is this:
If I change the orientation in my default printer to landscape and save
that. Then when my application tried to print it loads the default
printer print context. But there is nothing that I can querry to
indicate that the orientation is set to landscape. So I format my
printed page for portrait but it does in fact print in landscape. It
just looks funny.
I guess it boils down to this:
Do you really need me to upload my application? I can if you want.
