[GiDlist] Printing

[Philippe Bouchilloux]

Hello:

I have several questions regarding printing (to a printer) under windows.

1- The "Files | Print" and "Files | Page Setup" commands do not seem to be
documented. Is this correct?

2- My impression is that GiD sends a "general reset" command to the printer
before printing. As a result, the printer gets internally reset each time
the "Files | Print" command is used. This is causing problems on some
printers that need to be manually set before printing (the manual setting
must be done each time GiD prints). Note that other Windows applications
(such as Word) behave differently, so this issue appears to be specific to GiD.

3- The settings under "Files | Page Setup" seem to be lost each time this
option is used (all the settings are reset to their default values). This
appears to be a small bug in the program.

Thanks.

1- Yes, this command is now indocumented (until the next beta version).
2- It did not know this problem, we will try to detect and to correct it.
3- This settings are not saved to disk, only are maintaind for the current
session.
(can be also enhanced for the next version)

Thanks
