Is there a 32 bit DLL available.

I'm not speaking on Revelation's behalf, but I'm pretty certain I can predict the response. Given that the Printer.DLL and OIPI are virtually redundant methods, with the OIPI being the far superior product, I seriously doubt they will convert this. I could be wrong of course.
Do you have a lot of code using the Printer.DLL? Is that why you want to maintain it?

I dont have much code, only 4 DLL calls.
I use it to calculate text height and width, without having to open the OIPI.
I can't recall exactly why, as it has been there for a long time, but I think it was added so I could calculate things without a blank page being wasted each time, eg for calculations of printer placements and export which does not use the OIPI.
It is probably the case that I could call the OIPI and not waste a tree every time I do, so I will have to investigate further.

Have now checked the code and converted to OIPI calls instead.
It seems the PrintSetup=3 allows this to be hidden.
Thanks

Colin-
The Printer.dll was converted to 32-bit, and we still use it. I just tested it again
OIPI is a better tool, by a far piece.
