- Memo Subject:Re> Background Printing
-
- We have experienced many differences between background and direct printing.
- Not with a MacApp application, but this may apply anyway.
-
- One of the toughest is the way SetOrigin calls are handled. With direct
- printing, the SetOrigin call gets sent to the printer as a PostScript
- "translate". With background printing, Backgrounder saves the SetOrigin call,
- and translates everything itself when replaying the spool file.
-
- Normally this works (ie. regular QuickDraw calls all work ok). If you mess
- around with the printer's resolution, or do some PostScript drawing with
- absolute coordinates, things get shifted all over the place, or don't print at
- all.
-
- I have no idea how this might affect MacApp.
