Syntax

simple-print-port port &key jobname scale dpi printer interactive background

Description

Thesimple-print-port function prints the output pane specified by port to the default printer, unless specified otherwise by printer. The arguments of scale and dpi are used to determine how to transform the output pane's coordinate space to physical units. There meaning here is the same as in get-page-area, except that scale may also take the value:scale-to-fit, in which case the pane is printed as large as possible on a single sheet.

The background color of the pane is ignored, and the value given by background is used instead. This defaults to:white.

If interactive ist, a print dialog is displayed. This is the default. If interactive isnil, then the document is printed to the current printer without prompting the user.
