Re: [sqr-users] Problem with postscript printing



Hi Tracie, have you tried importing/exporting through Ghostview/Aladdin?

With straight SQR you can build a declare section that creates a page 
you manage
yourself that will allow you pixel level control upon rendering.  I am at a
different work site and don't have the code with me or would share.  This
sounds like a lot to do but it works.  With the work you can print to within 1
pixel of the physical edge of a printer (not HP Laser as they need 
quarter inch
for physical transport but Xerox and IBM make such printers for cheque/billing
writing).   If it is straight images and only images you can also build
containers that size the image upon rendering.  If it is text you have the
problem of proportional sizing/spacing.  It has been a couple of years since
doing direct postscript but the printer control characters you send when
rendering are also important.

Hope this helps.
