The problem isn't really one to be solved within your program, IMO. Printing is implemented as a service at the operating system (OS) level. Once you have a document in a form suitable for sending to a printer (such as a PDF), the OS is where any problems with the actual printing need to be addressed. Also, since it is implemented at the OS level, you're not going to find a solution in a platform-agnostic programming language like Python. The solution, whatever it is, will be highly dependent on the services presented by your specific OS. Of course, once you have a suitable OS service for printing the document, Python can send the document to that service. But at that point, the Python code will be trivially easy: probably invoking an external command via ‘subprocess.call’ or ‘subprocess.check_call’. In short: printing is a problem to be solved via the OS, not via Python. -- \ “We are not gonna be great; we are not gonna be amazing; we are | `\ gonna be *amazingly* amazing!” —Zaphod Beeblebrox, _The | _o__) Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy_, Douglas Adams | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
