PMView doesn't prinet anymore Options

[Pagni]

I'm using PMView since beta versions and I was able to print with any printer with no preblems.

Two weeks ago I tried to print an image on my HP Deskjet but the printing progress bar ran very fast and anything was sent to the printer.

I've made many tests with other printers (Hp Laserjet) and tried to reinstall all my printers drivers and also PMView (deintalling it and reinstalling).

All other applications are printing regularly but PMView does nothing (it doesn't report any error).

Could somebody help me ?

The problem is identified:

1.The problem discussed here only occurs on Win95/98 (and possibly WinME).
2.The problem appears when trying to print large bitmaps (=bitaps that are much larger than the size of the Windows desktop). Printing small bitmaps works flawlessly.

Reason for problem:

This is a general problem with many Windows 95/98 family printer drivers. They cannot cope with large bitmap transfers.

Solution:

The solution to the problem is to redesign the PMView printing routine to transfer the image in smaller chunks so that no chunk is larger than the current desktop size.

This fix will be included in PMView v2.20 (Estimated availability: Late February 2001)
