Hello, all!
I have been searching the web and mailing-list archives for the last few days, since Apple’s documentation on the subject is almost non-existant. I created this app that prints to Zebra label printers in their own printing language (ZPL). I am currently using Core Printing to print a temporary file with the raw code through the PMPrinterPrintWithFile(…) function. Works like a charm! The app shows a standard NSPrintPanel, where the user can select the number of copies and set printer features, which I sure like to have. But, since the user doesn’t have any control over the layout of the label, I would like to hide some stuff that shouldn’t be messed with: • Layout (pages per sheet, border, flip horizontally, etc.); • Paper Handling (collate, print range, page order, etc.); • Cover Page; • and the PDF menu button. It would also be great if the Printer pop-up menu would list only ZPL-compatible printers, as other printers won’t interpret that code correctly. Like I said, I like the fact that I can have the Printer Features interface in the NSPrintPanel — that comes from the printer driver, I guess — and that’s a good reason for not using NSPrintOperation's -setShowsPrintPanel: to skip it altogether. Through debugging, I have found out about PMPrintWindowController, but there is no information about it at all! Maybe I’m gonna need to create my NSPrintPanel subclass from scratch, but I can't find information on that either. Any pointers would be appreciated, except for void *. ;-) Regards, Flavio _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
