EPS NSPrintOperation not working as set
FROM : Warwick Hall
DATE : Mon Apr 30 08:55:37 2007
i know i have bugged the list alot over the last few days, but your
help is greatly appreciated.
lately i have had trouble getting NSPrintOperation to work correctly.
background: i am writing a command line tool that renders web HTML in
a webView and prints the result to a postscript file (via nsdata, see
below).
problem: NSPrintInfo ignores and alters my settings for no apparent
reason. even when the NSPrintInfo seems to initialize correctly,
NSPrintOperation ignores it! for instance, using NSLog ( [printInfo
description] ) and looking at the final output i can deduce the
following:
1) setting the margins is acceptable to NSPrintInfo, but
NSPrintOperation pays no attention.
2) same with vertical and horizontal pagination.
3) same with page type and page size.
4) setting the job type to NSPrintSaveJob will be accepted by
NSPrintInfo, but get this: it erases the path i give it from the
dictionary. where is the logic in that???? moreover it refuses to
allow me to use the printOperation: ... toPath:, instead i have to
use the toData: message, and use the [data writeToFile:atomically:]
to get it to the filesystem. i am sorry, but there must be some kind
of bug there!
Finally, it appears that all printOperation does in the end is print
the visible rect of the webView. ie it completely ignores all
printInfo settings like pagination and margins, and all the others.
