Print - A4 - wysiwyg

[Bill]

I do a lot of printing with government forms that I change from a PDF to a
.png file (works much better than .jpg both for speed, size of file, and
resolution of print-out). I experimented with .gif too.

My print command looks  like this:


  set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
  open printing with dialog
  print card from 0,0 to 612,792
  close printing
  

And even though the card is much smaller than the image it prints exactly
the size of the 8.5 X 11 page that the PDF was made for. It would be
wonderful if we could use the PDF directly but...
