[Gambas-user] Printing colors in PDF

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hm. I find it strange because when printing into a file, there should be 
no driver for a specific printer involved. But ".configure" perhaps is 
not resetting everything to default but leaves a few settings from the 
printer previously chosen.

Regards

Rolf
