Ok, my last TGF creation was a prank pack, essentially a program that is invisible and messes with a person's computer. One of the pranks I couldn't get to work the way I wanted it too.

I wanted it to print a blank sheet of paper every 30 seconds. The window is completely white, and therefore prints white, but when it goes invisible, it takes the program prints out the desktop color behind where the program was. I don't want to waste peoples ink or paper, any suggestions on how to get the print extension print a blank paper?

right. so you want to annoy people but don't want to waste their paper? and i'd imagine that it would be incredibly funny if only people weren't able to switch off their printers. *coughs*

Can't you print a blank image, or no text?

The window goes invisible, so it prints what is behind where the invisible window would be.

The print object has a "print blank page" command. Other than that....try printing the text " "(128 spaces - unless TDC knocks them all out.)

I'm on TGF and it has no blank page command, and you cant print any text.
It has: Print screen, Print window, Print client zone, Print zone, Printer Setup, and Printing Method (Best fit, Strech to page, scale, set x scale, set y scale).

I already tried to "Set x and y scale to 0" but no luck.

I dont use TGF (because i haven't got it) but if you create a blank Paint image...if TGF can print from a picture it works...(havent tested yet) try that, or ofcourse you can wrote something like "HAHAHA" or "I WAS JOKING" or something like that

Have you tried print window? If the window is invisible, that might work.(unless it prints the highlighted window)

Other than that, I think Call DLL can be used, though the example I had seems to have gone missing.

Tried print window, but because the window is invisible it prints a picture of the desktop that is the size of the window. That call dll thing sounds promising, but I wouldn't know how to go about that.
