Printing Gray Lines with MFC/VS6

Question

Hi,

Does anybody know the "magic trick" for printing gray lines in an MFC/VS6 based application, using the PS_SOLID style?

It works when printing to PDF, but I just get black lines when printing to my black/white laser printer. It also works with the PS_INSIDEFRAME style, but it seems strange to me that a normal PS_SOLID can't do gray

Here's how the CPen is setup: CPen linePen(PS_SOLID, 50, RGB(128,128,128));

I am using the MoveTo/LineTo functions for drawing.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you sure the printer context is set correctly, i.e. that you don't have a bit depth of 1?
