How do I print images?
Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.
Printing images from a QB program is about the most tedious of tricks to accomplish. In order to get an image translated to print, you will have to write a printer driver for your printer. Although somewhat easy, it is time consuming, and you will need the printer's programming manual that has all the printer's control codes!. But that isn't all. The next "minor" problem... It ONLY works for ONE printer type! Now you have to do that for about... I dunno.... a GAZILLION other printers!
Needless to say, it can be a daunting task. I suggest sticking with plain text.
NOW, if you're an old timer, you may remember a simple utility for DOS; a program called "Graphics". I used to load it as a TSR on my old Tandy, and I could use the trusty IBM ProPrinter to print just about anything I could display.
