Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. >Category: IDLE >Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: Printing: No print dialog or page setup Initial Comment: The printing solution for IDLE on OSX is lacking a page setup dialog, or even a print dialog. This means output will also be sent to the default printer. If there is no default printer (which means the user hasn't defined a printer at all) the user will get a confusing message (lpr failed). BTW. the message is clear for technical users, but not for mac users that aren't unix saffy. It would be nice if IDLE could interface with the Carbon/Cocoa print system using a real print dialog. That way users can select another than the default printer, change page settings and can even print to PDF. I've filed this as a low-priority issue for 2.6 because there's no way this will get into 2.5 and it likey non-trivial as well. BTW. this might be a feature-request rather than a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2006-07-26 16:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 It's not just an OSX problem. Printing in IDLE is very rudimentary at this point. Making this an RFE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1528593&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
