15.1 Printers

You can obtain the current printer, or ask the user to select one, by using current-printer . You can ask the user about configuration by using the functions page-setup-dialog and print-dialog which display the standard Page Setup and Print dialogs.

You can pass the printer object (as returned by current-printer or print-dialog ) to APIs with a printer argument, such as with-print-job , page-setup-dialog and print-dialog . The printer object itself is opaque but you can modify the configuration programmatically using set-printer-options .
