RE: _PrGeneral

[claris!Ashok_Khosla@apple.com]

Why not just call the page setup dialog? I have a page setup... menu item which 
does the following: 
 
(ask (front-window) (page-setup))

(defobfun (window-pagesetup TWindow) ()
    (window-select)
    (unwind-protect 
        (_PrOpen)
        (let ((THPrint (get-print-record)))
            (_PRStlDialog :ptr THPrint :boolean)
            (_PRClose))))

Then the next time you print, and get the print record - it will be landscaped, 
etc...
 
Good luck. Printing isn't easy, and has many, many bugs, and workarounds, (not 
in lisp, but in the system..)

Being encouraged by the success of my last request, let me try another:

Does anyone have code that sets the printer orientation and reduction (what
Apple calls the "rotation" and "resolution") in the printer style dialog?
I know it involves using the _PrGeneral trap and some opcodes to select
sub-routines. However, I'm not that good at writing low-level code yet.

By the way, thanks to everyone who answered my question about the name of
the startup document. The easiest and most useful answer was the function 
(finder-parameters).
