sqInt ioFormPrint(sqInt bitsAddr, sqInt width, sqInt height, sqInt depth,
double hScale, double vScale, sqInt landscapeFlag);
Parms:
bitsAddress oops address where the bits are
width width
height height
depth pixel depth
hScale Horizontal scale upto
vScale Vertical scale upto
return: NONE, fake return of zero
From: Interpreter
Why:
Basic printing.
Responsibility:
Long ago there was some attempt to enable printing from the image. that required sending a bitmap, indicating it's size, and depth, supply some scaling information to deal with pixel versus dpi, and if we wanted landscape versus portrait. This was implemented on windows and unix. The macintosh implementation used the printJob plugin which proved more control over the printing process and the ability to print postscript. Later in Sophie we moved towards using Rome to generate PDF.

Printing doesn't seem to be a feature?
Unix
Attempt to use pnmtops to print it
Windows
Attempt to send the image to the default printer, assuming the VM supports this feature
