Subject: TDibGraphicPrinter

Hello

I have not used TDibGraphicPrinter yet, but I've read the source and I have a question.

The Print method uses StretchDraw to send the image to a printer. I have seen a lot of warnings about using StretchDraw on printer canvases because it does not work correctly with all printers (drivers). See the links at the bottom. The suggestions are that API call StretchDIBits should be used.

Could this be a possible problem with TDibGraphicPrinter when deploying a program to many different users with many different unknown printers?

Best regards,
Thomas Munk
