Maybe this will get you started.

#! perl -slw use strict; use Win32::Printer; use constant { WIDTH => 7, HEIGHT => 8.5, }; my $prn = new Win32::Printer( ## Page size in inches 7" wide, 8 1/2" high unit => 'in', width => WIDTH, height => HEIGHT, ) or die "$!, $^E"; ## Used to position the text vertically my $hieght = 0; ## For various different font sizes for my $fontsize ( 10 .. 30 ) { ## Select that font my $font = $prn->Font('Arial Bold', $fontsize ); ## CALCRECT return the hieght of the text to be drawn (without dra +wing it). ## CENTER the text horizontally between 0 and WIDTH (in units from + above) $hieght += $prn->Write( 'Hello, world.', 0, $hieght, WIDTH, HEIGHT, CENTER | CALCRECT ); ## So use that to position the bottom left corner ## Then draw the text for real $prn->Write( 'Hello, world. ' . $fontsize, 0, $hieght, WIDTH, HEIGHT, CENTE +R ); } ## Start a second page $prn->Page; ## Draw a few rectangles to fit the paper $prn->Rect( $_, $_, WIDTH - ($_*2), HEIGHT - $_*2 ) for map{ $_ /2 } 0 .. WIDTH / 2; ## Steps of 1/2 inch ## Close and print it. print $prn->Close;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
