printer

Class

Package: common-graphics

The class of printer objects. Open a printer with open-stream (not make-instance). For example, this form, if run, sets some values and pops up a printer job dialog for getting more instructions from the user:

(open-stream 'printer 'null-location 
             :output :units-per-inch 100
             :font (make-font-ex nil :arial 48)) 

Display the printer setup dialog with pop-up-printer-setup-dialog. Display the printer job dialog with pop-up-printer-job-dialog. Putting print jobs in a with-output-to-printer form is recommended.
