Printer fine control

DaveO

12/7/2011 10:53:00 AM

Hi

I'm putting together a routine to print user configured labels so I need to
control the printer X & Y to sub-mm precision.

The printer object sets 1440 printer points to an inch or 56.7 to the mm

To test alignment I printed a character at X = 567 & Y = 567 expecting it to
be 10mm in from the top & edge but the top left corner of the character was
printed at 12mm on the X axis and 14mm on the Y axis. I'm guessing there is
either a non-printable margin or my printer is crap.

So assuming (hoping) my printer is OK then how do I determine these margins
for any given printer? There does not seem to be any obvious property
belonging to the printer object.



TIA
DaveO

Still haven't reached the point in normal child development when you
can see yourself as others see you, have you, fuckwit?

Keep showing us what an absolute asshole you are. You are mildly
amusing when there are commercial breaks.

No it doesn't. You have mis-read the message headers. That mewling
message is from the "real" Frank, if there is such a person.

This is what I see. You may be right.

This doesn't show up in a message I'm certain was the genuine Frank
(if there is one).

The References line refers to the message previous to that one. It's
what a newsreader uses to show the relationship between posts in a
thread. It doesn't show where the current post is from.

The things you should look for are the lines that would be difficult or
impossible to forge. In this case the Path line will show your news
provider at the beginning and the originator at the end. In this case
it's google:

Path: eternal-september.org!mx04.eternal-september.org!feeder.eternal-
september.org!news.glorb.com!postnews.google.com!k2g2000yqh.googlegroup
s.com!not-for-mail

Googlegroups posts will always show what account it's posted from. If
you're already sure it came from google, you can rely on the Injection-
Info line, which for all of Franks' posts will show

posting-account=zM8njgoAAACktE8_ajyPlQrKGMnZdvPc
