Printing to Universal Laser System laser print driver #921

Closed dlarue closed 6 months ago

dlarue commented 9 months ago

The ULS laser cutter/engraver is only supported on Windows( :( ) but even then it, like Epilog, uses a printer driver which configures the laser configuration based on the SVG drawing line width and line color AND if it's a vector or a bitmap. From Adobe Illustrator we can send a drawing to the printer driver and it's setup correctly but with SVG Edit the print function appears to always look like a bitmap drawing.

Is there a way to make change this or is it just a fact of how the browser handles the page being printed?

I tried this using the latest online version(v7) on this site: https://svgedit.netlify.app/editor/index.html in a Chrome browser.

The computer connected to the laser is a Windows computer and likely Windows 7 since it's an old computer and the desktop does not have the tiles of v10. Browser is Chrome but I don't know the version and I currently don't have access to the machine until next week.

I just realized I may have not had the background disabled in Editor Preferences. I will retest this next week and update this issue report.
