Hi,<div><br></div><div>You still need to call StartDoc/StartPage/EndPage/EndDoc in the right places. The printing surface (as opposed to the "normal" win32 surface) merely outputs high-quality GDI-based vector drawing commands as much as possible. Interacting with the printer is still the caller's responsibility.</div> <div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Dom<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 5:02 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dostojew@freenet.de">dostojew@freenet.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px">Hello,</p> <p style="margin:0px;padding:0px"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;padding:0px">I want to use the cairo_win32_printing_surface to get printing working under windows.
