If you use the LCL, it uses the printer canvas. A FPImage PostScript canvas exists, but it's largely untested. In theory, this could be used to create a postscript file and that could be sent directly to cups. Michael. Hi Michael, do you mean TPostscriptCanvas from PSCanvas.pp?, that doesn't seem to have a way to render a bitmap. I think I must send my bitmap to imagemagick's convert to create the Postscript file, then use lpr to send it to the printer.
