Printing tiffs programatically with XP/Office 2003

[NJS]

Good day all.
Now that Kodak / Wang are not bundled, what is the programatic method of
sending tiffs to the default printer, using standard Windows/Office
technology? (tiffs don't work in the image control).
thank you

Am not sure exactly whether you are trying to print TIFF files to a printer
or create TIFF files as a printer based driver.

Office 2003 includes Office Document Imaging which includes printer drivers
and viewers for TIFF Files the later can be used to print out TIFF Files

Thanks Mike,
I am using the MODI suite, but the viewr does not want to show the scroll
bars?
I actually hace two requirements, to view and to automatically print. The
printing side is fixed - just the scroll bar issue - I get two black bars
where the scroll-bar should be?

One of your post said you had solved the printing problem. Can you briefly
describe how you did this? I am trying to setup automatic printing of TIFF
documents from the Windows right click option.

Thanks.

I use :
'tmpFName = Image
Set miDoc = New MODI.Document
miDoc.Create tmpFName '"c:\B (19).tif"
miDoc.PrintOut , , 1, , , , miPRINT_PAGE

Actually I am trying to set the file association in Windows for the office
imaging viewer to print.

Thanks for the help.

It seems to work this way by default on my system, at least if nothing else has
taken over the .TIF extension.

Try this though:

Save an MDI file and verify that the rightclick/print action does what you
want.

Now (still in Windows Explorer) use Tools, Folder Options, File Types, (select
the MDI type), click Advanced, click Print, click Edit and note the settings.

Apply the same settings to the TIF file type.
