I downloaded Halo Jones but don’t want to read it on screen. Comic Book Viewer doesn’t have a print command, but is there some way of tricking it into giving me what I want?

.CBR or .CBZ files are, in essence, archive files renamed with extensions the CBR program recognizes as its own. They are really .RAR or .ZIP files, respectively, and if you were to unpack them you’d find a series of image files which you could conceivably print out using some other program. Unless you have a graphics program that can handle some sort of batch printing, I’d guess it’d be a lot of tedious work to print out each page, one by one.
Perhaps someone else will have a more elegant solution…
Moments later, I thought of one possible solution: Unpack the images and, if you can, drop them into some PDF-generating program. If you can get it to dump each image into its own individual page, and in sequence, you could then print that file with a single command.
Yes, the best thing to do is to rename the file (to RAR if it’s a CBR and ZIP if it’s a CBZ) and unpack the individual images. Then you can either print those (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can batch print the contents of an entire directory) or use Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF file out of the images.
Thanks, guys. We’ll see if I’m up to following your advice.
I suspect the resolution will leave a lot to be desired…
I doubt it, comic scans are scanned at a fairly high resolution for the most part.
