HyperCard 2.x: Color Printing Doesn‘t Work (1/96)


Color HyperCard 2.x stacks will not print to my Hewlett-Packard 4m printer. It appears that colored objects and PICTs do not print to PostScript printers in general. If an object has been colorized, it will print, but without color information. Is this because the color is in another layer and not really attached to the object, so nothing in the color 'layer' gets printed?


You are right. HyperCard 2.2 or HyperCard 2.3 does not print color, nor is it likely to in the near future, because as you mentioned - color is added in as an XCMD and not fully supported in the body of the application.



Color printing is not a trivial task and would require a great deal more development time to implement in HyperCard.
