Did you really read my initial mail? Now the Draw class is emulated 
through the Paint class. Consequently, it works on printers, so your old 
Gambas 2 code that draws on a printer with the Draw class can be used 
now with Gambas 3. But not the code that uses the Printer class! But it 
should not be a big deal as logically, you are drawing a print page by 
page...
