Help with printing in HyperCard IIGS

[scd@bbs.ausom.oz.au (Stephen Davidson)]

G'day All HyperCard IIGS Programmers,

I have some problems printing some stuff from Hypercard
IIGS V1.1 and I'd like to know if what I want to do is possible before I
stuff around much more (and lose more sanity).

Problem 1
----------

I'm trying to print reports using templates that I've set up. The info that
I want to print is a couple of fields from a series of cards. The info from
each card is only 6 lines.  I've set up a template the way I want printed
out. However, the series of cards isn't continuous, but scattered throughout
the stack. eg info from card 1, 5, 15, 18, 30, etc.

I know that I can print from a series of continuous cards, eg 1, 2, 3, etc,
but is there any way to make HCGS print the staggered info using my template
on the _same_ sheet of paper (just like as if from card 1, 2, ...)?

Problem 2
----------

When I'm trying to print a field/s to an Imagewriter II, the words at
the end of the line don't word-wrap like you'd expect them to. They wrap
back to the start of the same line and overwrite the beginning of that
line, then start printing the next line down as expected, etc. Is there
any way of forcing the usual way of word wrapping when printed to happen?

Problem 3
----------

When printing a field (or a couple of fields) put into a container that
contains embedded tabs to an Imagewriter II, the IWII ignores the
embedded tabs and prints the field info right up together, instead of apart.

eg, it prints         ThisfieldANDTHISFIELDTOGETHER
instead of    Thisfield      (tab in here)      ANDTHISFIELDTOGETHER

Is there any way of forcing tabs to not be ignored by the IWII (or any other
printer for that matter) from within HCGS??
(Note, the tabs seem to work OK if the container is saved to a text file)


Any help/suggestions are most welcome and appreciated!!!

Please email to scd@ausom.oz.au if possible since I don't read this
stream as much as I'd like to. Ta!!!

Regards,
