Hi Laurent:
Thanks for your reply.
I created a scaled down version of my app using the same print mechanism and it
didn't reproduce the problem.
Rebuilding the app into a new project did not eliminate the problem.
The problem doesn't cause my app to crash, just error messages for the invalid
graphics context and the print operation fails.
I get the same error for all of my views including some very simple ones.
There may be something I'm doing wrong initializing my views but it seems to be
affecting only the small preview window in the PrintPanel - an option that I
can turn off.
My views define the knowsPageRange, rectForPage, and locationOfPrintRect
methods to adjust the position for overprinting pre-printed forms. Possibly
PrintPanel does like my drawing going beyond the printer's clip view bounds,
but I still get the errors commenting out these methods.
In any case, PrintPanel should be outputting a message and canceling the print
operation if it can't create a valid graphics context.
Thanks,
Bob Rice
