Many thanks Matt.
I have no precise layout idea, but a conceptual idea of what is needed.
The dialog should:
- select the desired printer (to start with, it could just use the
current default one)
- select the desired paper format
- select portrait/landscape
- ask for desired page range (all pages or frompage-topage)
This should be implemented in two functions of src/Fl_PS_Printer.cxx:
int Fl_PS_Printer::start_job(int pages, int *firstpage, int *lastpage) {
// TODO should start a print dialog
// create a temp file where PS output will go
// put temp file name in ps_filename_ member variable
// return page range to caller through arguments
return Fl_PSfile_Device::start_postscript_job(pages,format);
}
void Fl_PS_Printer::end_job(void)
{
Fl_PSfile_Device::end_job();
// TODO should print the ps_filename_ file and delete it
}
