unidrv resolution issue (Please help)

OSR_Community_User · May 12, 2005, 11:29am

Hi All,
This is the second time i am posting my question to
this forum (first went un-answered). I am a new guy in
the
driver development. My task is to develop an image
driver which actually create multi-page tiff’s. I am
some
what sucessfull in developing that(using unidrv).
The procedure that i follow is to create the bitmap in
ImageProcessing and then later create the tiff from
these
images. I got te GPD from some sample files and
managed to print with a resolution 150X150 but now i
want this to
print in an higher resolution like 300X300.
I tried different options(for 300X300) for
*PrintableArea and *PrintableOrigin, but the bitmap
seems to get cut.
Can sombody please tell me what i am doing wrong or if
i put this correctly,

how do i do this?
what is the relation between *PrintableArea and
*PrintableOrigin for different resolutions and
Orientations?

If somebody can please help me with this or some
pointers in the internet where i can go and find out
how to do this
will be largly appreciated.

Note: This is the GPD file that i am using
