Class Description

NSPrintPanel provides a standard print panel allowing the user to specify information about how a document is to be printed, including the page range, number of copies and scale of the document. It also allows the user to save the document to a file or preview it. When a print: message is sent to an NSView or NSWindow, an NSPrintOpertation is created which manages printing of a view. The NSPrintOperation object would by default show a print panel in a modal loop for the user. You can avoid showing the print panel by sending the setShowsPanels: message in the print operation with a NO argument.
