I'm jumping into the middle of this thread, so I don't know what your
original question was, but my copy of Street Atlas supports NO PRINTERS
directly. What it DOES support is copying the screen image to the
clipboard. To print a map you have to (1) copy it to the clipboard, (2)
start another program (like paint) and paste the image into a picture, and
(3) print the picture. This is cumbersome and your printout will be at the
resolution of your SCREEN not your PRINTER. I found the printouts to be
unacceptable at with an 800×600 screen. Higher resolutions may be better.
From what I understand, MapExpert offers "real" windows printing. I talked
to someone at Delorme who said they deliberately omitted "real" printing
from Street Atlas because it was too much functionality for (what was then)
$99.
