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
.
