Printing using LPT

[sianatia]

hi there, I use LPT for printing my documents because i want to control my pages and lines,but when i want to print an image it takes too long to convert the image into monochrome bitmap for black/white printers and also there is a puase between each line of printing.I want to know how Windows prints images so fast... thanks

Converting an image to greyscale shouldn't take very long. I imagine that Windows really just passes the images to the print driver, and the driver does the rest.

it is so,but the point is when we are using windows to print,there is no control over pages and lines of printing which causes so many trouble in continuos papers.

How do you mean by 'using windows to print' ?

i mean when we are using .net to print

OK, that's kind of the opposite of what you said :-) I find it difficult to believe that .NET does not support those things.

ofcourse .Net does not suppport line control because when you want to print by .Net it just prints the page and you can not for example force the print to advance one line not one page,this is my problem...
