    may I express some wishes concerning printing:
    (important features first)
    - line spacing: notepad 3.5 (and older) has a rather wide line-spacing so that only 55 lines per page (on A4) can be printed; it should print 65 to 70 lines per page.
    - font size
    - layout for header and footer
    - option print with/without line numbers
    - page preview

    Thanks,
    Tony

      I also miss these functions.

      Is there a schedule if or when they are getting implemented?

      I would like to second the motion of having a "Print Preview".  This is a common feature in almost all windows applications that has printing specifications.

      I have a printing feature that may be useful to others as well.  Once upon a time (in DOS) I used a utility that allowed printing as two columns on a landscape page.  It effectively set each column width to ~80 characters and scaled the font size to fit inside that margin.  This basically allowed for 2 pages of code to fit on one sheet (since one half of the sheet is sometimes just whitespace).

      I have absolutely no idea how difficult this would be, I'm just throwing it out there.

    Resurecting an old thread I guess ;) it would be really nice to see the changes listed above. I have to print out text file reports for work and I have historicly used the Unix shell we have at work. unfortunatly they are doing away with it and I will loose all my unix programs :(  Two things that we can control is the line spacing as mentioned above and also the the line count and column count you can print per page. being able to adjust those two things would go a long way to improve the printing functions.

    I thought layout control was something the printer driver would handle?
