Is there any printing /page layout module (where you set up the page on screen and then dump to printer) or library that is available for Blitzmax. If I were clever enough I could be told to do it myself - but probably not clever enough.( If I have to do this can anyone point me to a good tutorial on interfacing with the winapi?? please ). Win32 only would be ok as I believe that the best way on linux would be to create a postscript file and then send that to the printer.

Thanks Merx - I quickly downloaded and tried this and this could do in a pinch but I was hoping for a straight to printer type code. I am looking at one written for freebasic and may have to translate that one for my purposes if i cannot find one already done

There'll be some nice cross-platform printing support in wxMax when it's finished. (ie. same code to print on Win/Mac/linux).
