: Hi, fellows! Anyone knows how can I make a Tprinter.canvas preview? Maybe the Image.canvas work well, but I don't know how to do this. I'll be glad for your help!

I always use the QuickReport components, included for free with Delphi. You have to do some experimenting though, it's not a 1-2-3 solution.

Something easier and quicker can be found at this page:

And finally, you can find the source code of a very complete system at this URL:

This last one requires changing the VCL source code and recompiling the Delphi library. Don't do this if your are not 100% sure what you are doing! (and make the necessary back ups first :)
