Class Description
NSPrintOperation controls printing of an
NSView. When invoked normally it will (optionally)
display a standard print panel (NSPrintPanel), and
based on the information entered by the user here as well
as information about page layout (see NSPageLayout) tells
the NSView to print it's contents. NSPrintOperation works
with the NSView to paginate the output into appropriately
sized and oriented pages and finally delivers the result
to the appropriate place, whether it be a printer, and
PostScript file, or another output.
