Hey there guys,

I just downloaded SilverFrost and have been playing around with it only for a short time now.. I was pointed to it in my search for finding a way to printing my Fortran 95 output to a local laserjet printer as opposed to the terminal/screen/file.

I found two small discussions on the subject on this board already, but nothing that really gave me much information (as I have ZERO programming knowledge outside of Fortran 95).

However, I found a short blurb of code in the help section of Plato with the following code:

Hi Mat
Try this:

Ian,

Thanks for the response!

I compiled your code as is and this is the resulting printout:



The problem goes away when I substitute "HTML_PRINTER_OPEN" with "PRINTER_OPEN".

However, the output size is too large and I wont be able to get all of my output onto the page width wise.

[IanLambley]

Perhaps you should use "size 1"

I use draw_characters@ and this can have scaling and rotation applied. You would need to write each line to a character variable and then output that variable. You also need to keep track of the position on the page and use a new_page@. I write my data to a file and then write it using the above technique.
Regards
Ian
