This doesn't sound like a printable origin problem more like a physical
width and application related issue.
How do you define the width and the resolution?

Maybe you should also research the GPD documentation a bit more to find
out what you can and can't do.

Good question. Why did I start messing around? :)

 

Two apps are unable to print properly. Their margins end up covering

up parts of the text. (cannot see the rightmost column)

 

So, I wrote a test which prints a rectangle plus two lines X from

corner to corner. This covered the entire page, as it should.

 

GetDeviceCaps(DC, HORZRES) returns the correct value.

 

Then I tried GetDeviceCaps(Printer.Handle, PHYSICALWIDTH) and this

returns a value larger than HORZRES (+310 dots or so).

 

This is different from MS' OfficeWriter driver.

 

My driver is based on the DDK's Bitmap sample. I found nothing in the

source files, but those values in the .gpd file made me curious. And

that is when I started playing around. :(
