Dave,
	Using the DPaint PrintUtility, didn't you know  that you  can adjust the
size of the print out simply by changing the margins using preferences? Changing
the margins (to something smaller than a full  page)  forces PrintUtility to use
the smaller area. Exactly what you want.

	Also, didn't  you know  that PrintUtility does not load the entire image
into memory? Noooo. It calculates exactly how many scan lines are needed to fill
one printer head  pass  and   loads only this  many  scan  lines at a time. This
calculation is done using your latest  preferences  values  so  you  can  change
preferences as often as you want without having to reload the PrintUtility.

You didn't know this? Actually the EA print routines are very much in order.
Thank you.
