Printing
Author: Michael Plitkins
Updated: 11 October, 1998

 

Risks

  • Aside from new layout capabilities (pagination, column support, table splitting), we expect the existing rendering code to be used.
  • Dependencies

  • We need to create an API to allow a version of a base device context to be created from information available in a platform specific printer specification supplied by the application. this will most likely be a method of the device context to ask it to return a new version of itself based on the supplied printer specs.

  • Layout's ability to perform proper splitting of object across page boundaries.

  • Existing rendering code.

  • Unix printing requires Postscript rendering.
  • Assumptions

  • ImageLib printing support survived the BAM effort

  • Print dialog and Printer Setup UI will come from Mozilla / Containing app.
