Re: Printing to a Windows printer.

I am trying to improve a label printing program that I wrote in perl.
I want to use a Laser Printer instead of the current dot matrix and I
would like to include some Fonts and graphics in the output.
Portability isn't an issue right now and I really don't want to have
to install Ghostscript.

OK.

I have also gone to CPAN and found a modual that looks like it would
do EXACTLY what I would like to do.
http://search.cpan.org/~wasx/Win32-Printer-0.9.0/Printer.pm
But when I go to the home page that is supposed to have that module I
get a page of ads. It looks like it has been abandoned.

What is your question?

I installed the module as described in

http://search.cpan.org/~wasx/Win32-Printer-0.9.0/Printer.pm#Source_installation

Then I ran the test program (after changing the paper size to LETTER)
in

http://search.cpan.org/~wasx/Win32-Printer-0.9.0/Printer.pm#SYNOPSIS

and I got a nice colorful print-out.

So, do you have a specific question?
