I have had PMview for a long time
and love it. I just don't do printing from it. I boot into WIN95 and use Qimage to print and it does a very nice job in quality mode. When I try pmview from from OS2 and say Presentation mode and try different dithering modes, none are good. Stucki was maybe the best but in a picture that is landscape there are streaks in going across the the 8 1/2 dimension. I've always been current on the driver. Am I missing something? It is not the printer as win95 does great.
I tried comp.os.os2.apps but most people said it was the printer.
I would think not.
Any hints? OS2 FP15 can't print well? Loose nut behind the wheel?
Thanks
Does this also happen when you select "Fit pixels" in PMView's print dialog? Some printer drivers may require 1:1 pixel mapping to give good quality. (I.e. the scaling done by the driver is poor and causes the problem. )
The "Fit pixels" will produce a very small image on the paper if the image you have is small. If you want an image to fit the page, first check out what its size (Width/Height) in the print dialog would be when you select "Fit page" in the print dialog. Then exit the print dialog and select Transform->Size (with Interpolation enabled) and resize the image to the Width/Height values you got from the print dialog. Then go back to the print dialog and select "Fit Pixels" and print the image.
There's no problem with OS/2 FP15. The problem (or limitation) is obviously in your OS/2 printer driver since you have no problem printing from Windows.
