Boris,

Thanks.  I am already using the Kodak program.  However, Kodak does not
give you the ability to control the printer.  Anyway the matter is moot
as I built my own printer .dll that can integrate with program throught
VB and control the printer.

Thank you and all others who gave me suggestions,
Yehuda

Hi Yehuda,

if your running NT or 2000, then Microsoft supplies you with the Kodak
Image Controls (IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGTHUMB.OCX, IMGSCAN.OCX, IMGADMIN.OCX).
With these controls you can administer, edit (and print) and scan images

of all sorts of formats (including TIFF format). You can even create and

work with thumbnails and annotations. There are a few things to remind
when using these controls.

The controls are not installed with the standard windows installation.
You
have to explicitly choose the option 'Imaging support' during the
initial
install or you have to install them later on.

You're not allowed to distribute the controls. Every customer has to
have
the controls installed from his copy of windows.

Under NT the controls are called 'Wang Imaging Controls'.

You can buy older versions from Kodak, if you need the controls for
95/98/Me.
