Hello Group. I have an NSView-based app (i.e. not document-based), and I’d like to bolt on a printing subsystem. I can get NSViews in my main controller to print ok. However, I want to have a special view constructed just for printing. The view should not show in the app’s window.
I cannot seem to figure out a way to do this. I have tried various forms of these examples: 1. Add an NSView to my main view window? Seems logical, but it’s awkward in a storyboard, (I can’t position the view in the storyboard). 2. Programmatically create a custom NSView with a xib? For this, I’ve tried: @IBOutlet weak var printView: NSView! …. let printOperation = NSPrintOperation(view: printView!) This results in the comprehensive "fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value” message. 3. A seperate ViewController? If so, how can I avoid having two print buttons — one to call the print controller, and the second, to print the PrintController’s view. I’ve tried reading the Apple docs, but they are not the way I learn best. I’ve waded through SE, but have come up blank. Could you point me towards a solution please.
