Hey Alduce, you can use the PrintImage command to send an image to a printer. I've never used this command myself, but should be easy to test. Here's a quick look at it's usage:



image# is obvious, while size is the percentage the image will take up on the printed page. One other thing to consider, to just plug this into your main loop or you'll get a crash and a thousand printed images real quick. You'll need to add some sort of duplicate check:



Than once the page has printed change p back to zero.

Good luck and have fun.
