Hello List,

I have a query about printing the map image files generated by =
Mapscript.  If I try to print a map as a png image file from an IE5 =
browser it prints out incorrectly - just lots of black.  I thought the =
problem might be with the browser unable to print png format but other =
png file I found on the web seem to print ok from my browser.  I =
converted the output to JPEG and that prints ok but the file size is up =
to 5 times larger than png and is very slow to download.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Regards,

Marie Flanagan
