I figured since we've got all that Fl_Printer stuff anyway, maybe we should put it to good use. So here's a (very early) patch to add printing support to Dillo: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/30-print.diff It's turned on with a ./configure option (and disabled by default), so you don't need to link in Fl_Printer if you don't want to. I'm not looking to get it into mainline yet, mostly I just want to show what I've got so far in case anyone is interested. Here's an example of its output: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/files/dilloprint.pdf Let me know what you think! Cheers, ~Benjamin

That is an intriguingly small amount of code.

Doesn't surprise me. Seamonkey and Abiword, from what I think I just learned, use cairo for printing. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

It's a lot smaller than I expected. The main problem is it has to resize the viewport to the printable page area, and the viewport apparently doesn't like resizing smaller than the browser window. This results in clipping, as you can see in the linked PDF. (Admittedly it's a little ugly printing the viewport directly to Fl_Printer anyway, since we have to do nasty things to it so it will fit the page, but after four or five hours of experimentation this seemed to be the only thing that worked. And this way, we at least get *everything* that's visible on screen, including form contents, etc.) ~Benjamin
