Can anyone please tell me how to send graphics to a ( laser ) printer?
My djgpp'ed C program ( many thanks DJ! ) would occasionally like to
print out what it has already drawn on the screen.  How can this can be done?

Since I am a novice, please don't flame me for this novice question!

I have no idea how printing works on an msdos machine.  On the Macintosh, for
example, you simply draw your graphics as if to the screen, but actually to
the printer.  You need know nothing about the printer: the internal mechanics
are invisible.  Is it similar for a pc?

Any suggestions, help, advice?

Thanks,

Duncan Sands.
