  PrintWin

 

This application simulates the functionality of a RISC OS 3.1 Printer: device window where printer-ready files such as printout files can be dropped to be printed by the current printer

This is the same as dragging a printout file to the printers icon, but does not require a particular filetype to be set.

This could be a simplification for printout files imported from, say, a PC.

It is up to the user to make sure that the file is a suitable one - it will be sent to the printer stream as a stream of bytes regardless!

The program now allows an Options menu item to enable/disable the sending of a formfeed at the end of the print job, and the filetyping of the source file to Printout (&ff4).

It will also, co-incidentally, allow the printing of PC-type text files with the CR+LF line endings without double-line spacing them.

The program uses the DrWimp WIMP library.
