The printer is most likely not a postscript printer, and it is most likely on a Windows computer (I happen to use Linux:) I can't find anything like a PrintStream or other object which would encapsulate printing to a printer.
Ghostscript is available for Windows, so you may be able to print Postscript on the machine anyway.
hmmm didn't know that... thanks for the tip.
I have text (no graphcs at the moment but there will be in the future) to print which I can format as I like. I need to be able to create a button that says 'Print' the user can press and get a report.
OSProcess is being ported to the Windows environment, so a two-stage process where you save the text (and later, graphics) as an HTML file and then fire up Netscape to print it might work.
Yeah, I've been thinking about doing something like this until I figured out the print thing. Just for my edification, what is OSProcess and it's importance in the current discussion? (I'm still learning a lot)
I've tried browsing and searching for print, printer, printing on the swiki, but no luck so far.
Printing is coming Real Soon Now; people are working on it.
:)
Cool, I really like squeak with what I have seen so far. And the support is fantastic. I realize you said RSN, but is there a goal (3.3, 3.4, 4.0, whatever) where printing is likely to appear? Just curious that's all.
