The problem here is not exactly the "direct-printing under Windows" problem
I covered in my document, but rather a problem how to printing images (a
topic worthy of its own document....).

I think the problem you are having is that you are trying to print a BMP
image in an HP-formatted report.  It's not well explain in the SQR3 manual,
but the type of image you use must match the report format: BMP for Windows,
HPGL for HP, and EPS for PostScript.

So, yes, to print a BMP image, you either need to use -printer:wp, or you
need to use -keep and then print the SPF file from SQRWV.  In either case,
you will only be able to print it from a Windows machine, and your
report formatting may change somewhat.

If you would like to be able to print the report from the server (or even
from the PC but using HP instead of Windows output), you'll need to convert
your BMP file to HPGL.  You can search the sqr-users archives for
"printing logos", "hpgl", etc. for more info on that.
