I am not sure exactly in which place to edit. Is you machine is connected to a Network (Lan or wan or anything) if it so then there will be a file in which you will be giving the host name list. there you have to go and and remove the unwanted ip. that may solve your problem. I am sorry i cannot recollect the file name. I m extremely sorry for my poor memory.

before domodal() use SetCurrentDirectory()

Do GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSX) and GetDeviceCaps(LOGPIXELSY) give you the same values? Also, instead of printing text to test this, draw lines or solid blocks. Your "x" text is immediately going to add some "margin" above the "x" since it's not a capital letter. Of course, there's more font metrics involved than just the height. Drawing graphics will give you a much better idea what you're working with. What type of printer is it? Also, check out Matthew Faithfull's comments in his reply above.

I looked at SetTextAlign/GetTextAlign. I did pDC->SetTextAlign ((TA_LEFT | TA_TOP | TA_NOUPDATECP)); from OnBeginPrinting. Still prints off. I dont not know if I need to account for printer margins and if so how to do so. I tried with accounting and without, as follows void CMyFormView::MyOutStr (CDC *pDC, int x, int y, char *str) { int xpos, ypos, sz; if (!(sz = strlen(str))) return; //xpos = x - r_xmargin; //account for margin //xpos = x; //do not account if (xpos < 0) xpos = 0; //ypos = y - r_ymargin; //ypos = y; r_xlast = xpos; r_ylast = ypos; pDC->TextOut (xpos, ypos, str, sz); } could not print to location I specified. Any clues, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Henri

For Windows 2000 Pro and above, maybe you could use FindFirstChangeNotification[^]. Note you'd have to use a separate thread to monitor changes with FindFirstChangeNotification(). Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:
