Hi,

I have the following problem....

I want to print some image on a sheet of A4 paper, my printer is capable of a much higher resolution than de default resolution of A4 paper in Visual Basic. How can I change this....???

Example:

Standard size for A4 in Visual Basic = 780 * 1130

My printer is capable of printing at 600 DPI, so to my knowledge I should be able to print at a much higher resolution.



Grtz,

Kalin
 
After quite some puzzling I finally found the answer to this question.

Enlarge the bitmap to whatever you want it to be, than set the e.Graphics.PageScale setting (in the PrintPage event) to Papersize divided by Bitmapsize.

This will do the trick.

Grtz,

Kalin
