-
- At the MADA meeting at the Developer's conference in San Jose, I asked the
- following question: "If I attach a standard print handler to my view, and use
- the new LaserWriter 6.0 driver, will my color views print out correctly on a
- color Postscript device? That is, is color printing just as easy for the
- MacApp programmer as black and white printing?" Steve Friedrich's hesitant
- reply was: "Well, gosh, I think maybe it will. It SHOULD work, but as far as I
- know, we've never tried it."
-
- You should be more confident, Steve. It worked just fine the first time I
- tried it. In a tiny sample program, I just sprinkled some SetIfColor calls
- through out my view's Draw method, checked the screen image, and printed on the
- new Schlumberger color Postscript device. It looked just great.
-
- We then tried the same thing with a more complicated example involving the
- new 32-bit and off-screen worlds, and got something less than satisfactory. I
- believe that the problem is ours, however, and we will post the details of our
- success (when it occurs!) later.
