Solaris 10, Python 2.4.4 I have very little experience with issuing print commands using a Unix environment. Despite this, I wish to design a Tkinter window with a "Print" button, which, when clicked, would create a copy of the contents of the window as a .pdf file. GhostScript is available on my systems.
I know that the Canvas container has the ability to print itself to a postscript file, but I do not want to use Canvas as my container object. So I am hopeful this is as simple as discovering the proper command to associate with a button, which will generate a color postscript file of the containing window. Once I can get that file, I know how to get a .pdf out of it. The main software that we use on these systems has this print command associated with its color printer *button*: lp -c -d ricoh -o resolution=1200 -o profile=photo -o dithering=photo -o colorsettings=superfine -o black=k -o papper=letter -o itray=tray1 BTW, "papper" is what is actually in this software product's color printer settings. But can this be correct? Anyway, it does print to *paper*! I suspect that some variant of this command associated with a print button would print *something*, but how do I get it to print the specific window containing the to-be-designed print button? Also, I need it to print a postscript file, not print to paper. I suspect this is another configuration setting that I need to research. As always, many thanks in advance! -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
