AutoPrint: Not doing its job
« on: March 06, 2006, 01:01 PM »
Hi,

I set the preferences to autoprint, and yet when I press the hot key to print the screen, I get a specialized print dialog box to set margins, size, postion, gamma correction and print setup.  Is there any way to print directly?

currently it always shows that dialog first, then you hit print.

Hi moshepack:

I learned this the hard way too.  Sometimes that interim "print placement" screen pops up behind what I am trying to capture, and not seeing anything happening, I assumed SSC had hung up.  I had to go back to my old Win95 PARSONS SCREEN SHOT to get that immediate "Print this screen right now" feature.  But I keep SSC for those times when I need to capture a sequence of files (without printing) -- you just can't beat SSC's sequential file-naming feature.

did we add the code for Direct Print?  I'd like to set landscape mode, then never have to choose it again.
Also, is there a way to choose the number of copies printed?  Thanks!
