Dear Jacqueline
 
As you see from my first posting - and from the last- it is only the problem of printing a single snapshot from
 a visible window ( past horizontal 2000) of a large card.
We have been trying to follow your suggestion of :
"... importing... snapshot(s) to a buffer stack and then printing the buffer's card should work.....",
 but we get stuck. 
We have succesfully exported a snapshot from a (visible) part of a card into a container named screenbuff,
 which seems to contain binary image data. But we cant suceed in putting this into a screensize  image ("bufferimage") 
for that purpose on the buffer-stack. 
Using "set the imagedata of image "bufferimage" to screenbuff results in an extremely distorted image...
How should the scripting go to suceed in putting such a screen snapshot into the screensize  image in the bufferstack  ?
Please !
 
P.S.  : is the limitation to horizontal 2000 for printcard  known - a discussed issue...a bug ?....the result of a decision ?
 
Kresten
