The IlvPrinter Class
The IlvPrinter class describes a physical printer with characteristics such as paper size, paper orientation, and physical margins. It encapsulates an instance of IlvPort.
This is an abstract class and it has two predefined subclasses:
IlvPSPrinter that allows you to print to a PostScript file.// creating a PostScript printer
IlvPSPrinter* psprinter = new IlvPSPrinter(display);
psprinter->setPaperFormat(*IlvPaperFormat::Get("A3"));
psprinter->setOrientation(IlvPrinter::Landscape);
psprinter->setDocumentName("viewsprint.ps");
IlvWindowsPrinter that allows printing to a printer connected to a Windows computer (this class is only available on Windows).Some characteristics are dependent on the printer and cannot be set, such as paper size or margins.
// creating a Windows printer
IlvWindowsPrinter* wprinter = new IlvWindowsPrinter(display);
