Re: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Print/Preview crash system

[Hans <hans2@seas.upenn.edu>]

The problem I see when printing is an incorrect re-sizing to fit the page 
whenever I change the resolution of my printer from 300dpi to 600dpi. 
The printer model is Epson Stylus SCAN 2500 and I don't have this problem 
with any other application. Another annoying thing with the printing 
interface in Protel, is that whenever I go to the print preview it draws 
the screen twice (which takes some time on a complex design). It would be 
much nicer to have a 'draw on demand' option, i.e. the screen should only 
be redrawn when requested. Anyway ... just my $0.02
