into components folder.

I have been seeking a print/preview component for some time, I use it
to preview a memo or synmemo contents and print those contents as I
have been unsuccesful in converting delphi components due to the
TMetaFile being used, also any print routines for these components
have been miserable failures. There are no print routines that I can
find for these components that will work. So if asnyone knows where to
find them, I would be grateful for the info.

Dave

nb: I use Linux

Have you looked at the source code for Lazarus itself?  The editor
prints you could steal that code for your printing (though no print
preview that I see).  I think it is in the file sourceprinter.pas.
