TPrintPreview - incorect printing (mm) dimension ?

Postby fedra » June 3rd, 2004, 1:31 pm

Hello.
I use your (great) TPrintPreview in one of my application. I want to print a label for CD and CD case.
The printing must have 12cm but I allways get a smaller printing that should be (11.9cm instead of 12cm).

const
LenghtC1 := 12000 ;
HeightC1 := 12000 ;
PaperA4_H= 21000 ;
...

begin
...
PrintPreview.Zoom:= 100;
PrintPreview.FastPrint:= False;
with PrintPreview do
begin
Units:= TUnits(mmhiMetric);
UsePrinterOptions:= True;
Canvas.Rectangle(c1);
...
end;
end;


the bigger rectangle is, the bigger error is.
can you help me?

But it possible to be from the VCL or could be an error from the printer?

There is more: I want to print an image over a sticky (glued) paper for a CD label.
My printer never print the image at correct location. Every time the printing is shifted 0-1.5 cm to the left or right or up or down.
But this could be from printer, I know.

There is a solution for this situation?


Keep working at this good VCL !

It could be also because of the printer's driver.
