You're welcome. A bit difficult to keep up with coding since there real

Well... Now I got around compile problems (well there was errors in 
compilation but I brutally ignored those since it didn't stop me 
compiling further... )


Answer to difference... Yes, it's very much different way... (Unless you 
have PS capable printer)

Windows way of printing is to draw what you need on "printer canvas" 
(same way as you do like drawing on screen). Then you just send page to 
printer (actually driver) and printer (driver again) takes care of the rest.
