Yes, but to do that you'll need to create a new Bitmap of the size of the 2 images that you want to print together, and send to the printer once.

The printing method is really simple, depending on the case, you can modify the "ToPrinter()" method to best fit your needs.

Of course yes !

Yes

Again Yes

The method "ToPrinter()" does not exist in the original "System.Drawing" namespace from .NET. Me and Bo agreed that it could bring some good help for people to work with the library. If you have any suggestion in order to improve this method, please tell us, and if that's possible, and fits the library structure and goals, it will be included.

Even Before reading your next question, my answer is YES !!!

Yes, possible too.
As I said before, the most recommended is to create a new big image that will receive all images. Then with GDI+ you'll draw all created bmps in it, and after this is done, send to the printer.


Sergio,

Believe-me, Gdiplus-X can do a huge quantity of cool things.
And most of them I've never thought of.

The most recommended is that you create new threads for every different topic using the library.

Hope this helps
