Cannot print image from a photo viewer app like Windows "Photos" app #36

Closed mikeminhxi closed 1 year ago

mikeminhxi commented 3 years ago

I tried printing files in Notepad, Word, Paint, websites. They worked well with clawPDF printer. But when I use Photos app or Paint3D to print out image files (.jpg, .png, .bmp) into PDF file, clawPDF printer cannot print out. Can clawPDF supports to print image or anything by using new Windows 10 applications like Paint3D, Photos? Will it work well as "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer?

clawPDF worked with: Paint Paint Print window

Mouse Right-click menu then select Print Mouse Right-click Print window

Didn't work with: Paint3D with new Windows 10 Print Paint3D Print window

Photos with new Windows 10 Print Photos App Print window

Solved the issue, set the attributes in PRINTER_INFO_2 structure to 0x00000041 instead of 0x00000002. Thank you
