If this is, by any chance, an HP printer, the printer may support PCL
5 (or a similar language). I've written PCL scripts (in Pascal, so a
while ago) to precisely print points at the printer resolution (i.e.,
I picked which six-hundredth of an inch in height and width dimensions

Ok, actually I quite like being able to print straightforward through
your code, i.e. without any extra modules installed. I understand that
sending text to the printer is in principle as simple as
dc.TextOut(scale_factor * 72,
-1 * scale_factor * 72,
"Testing...")

Sorry, one more. I completely forgot it's not exactly plain text, but

If Windows can print it, then MSWinPrint.py should be able to also.

Did you mean borderless printing?
Every printer needs his margins, some more some less. Some printers have the
ability to do borderless printing but usualy they can do it only on special
or photo paper. So you can adjust the pdf as you wish, even with no margins,
and then try to find under prin

Yes, if you use my method or my module, as I gave in my previous post.
If you use Adobe Reader to print, I'm not sure how to automate the print
settings.

Dear all,
for a python program running on Win XP that is used to produce
