Hi,
Since no one else seems to have raised this issue, I did some further research. Using a Windows XP system, depending on which printer you use, CodeBlocks seems to either:
1. obey the choice of paper (i.e. "letter") set on the printer preferences,
2. ignore it and use "A4" no matter what is set, or
3. obeys the setting of "letter" and then immediately sets it back to "A4".
Here are some results:
HP 970CXi - #2 above
LaserJet printers (4000 and 4050) - #3
Adobe Acrobat Driver followed by HP970 CXi - #1
Of course using the the wrong paper type results in a line or two not printing at the bottom of each page.
This seems like a bug....
At Brooklyn College, we are planning to switch to the CodeBlocks IDE for our programming classes. We have prepared an (introductory) student manual, which will be ready soon. But I am concerned about the 'little' things that would confure and introdcutory student.
Anyway, all in all, this system is quite professional and my thanks to all!
