Re: [Gnome-print] Problem with gnome-print-multipage

[Benke László a tanár <decike freemail hu>]

HI!
A bigger problem I think to close the printcontext without enough pages. Let's assume we
wanna print some matrics for envelopes from an sql table (like in my case). So for example we
have 33 pages on the paper (3x11) and we have a query for 30 pages.. If we do 
gnome-print-context close it won't print correctly the pages as we were closing print context 
without final showpage...
I add the following code to my application to workout this problem...

	while (pp->pageno/(pp->virt_x*pp->virt_y)!=(double)pp->pageno/(double)(pp->virt_x*pp->virt_y))
	{
		gnome_print_beginpage(pc,"Page");
		gnome_print_showpage(pc);
		pp->pageno++;
	}

It works for me but maybe it will be better if multipage handles it....
