This may be a bit obvouse but is there a simple way of printing a drawing area?
Thanks

You can't just print what's on the screen, you will need to Paint the details to the Printer. Have a look at the attached that draws in a DrawingArea and then to the printer. Note the differences in the routines. It should print your name on an A4 sheet.

 Thanks Cogier,  I was in too much of a rush and should have been more explicit.
So I draw a lot of detail in  drawing area using the draw_event.  Then draw the identical details in the print_event in order to print it.
It seems a bit inelegant.  It there one process that will perform both operations?
