Re: how to print an image

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Riccardo,

not shure what is going wrogn here. Are you sure the view you want to
print is [windowController view]. This would be the easiest explaination
what may go wrong :-)

There is one obvious error in your code. You give the print operation as
the first parameter to the cal to runOperationModalForWindow:. Here a
window needs to be passed in. This mehtod will always show the print
panel, no matter what you set in the line before. I am not sure if this
is the correct behaviour in GNUstep, but the code seems to do this on
purpose.

You could use runOperation instead, if you want to have control over the
panel.

Cheers,
Fred
