Hi mikasue,
This was asked just the other day here, in the context of printing what's on a Canvas in Postscript.
As far as I know, there is no way to "print" to a printer, just because the mechanics of printing depend largely on which operating system you're on, and what kind of printer hardware you have.
Having said that, there may be modules which facilitate the printing process (I don't know, as I haven't researched it), but in my mind the easiest way is to figure out if there's a "non-interactive" (ie. command-line) way to call whatever printing program you use, and then invoke it on whatever file you're trying to print.
Printing is not really a Perl-specific kind of functionality, and especially doesn't have anything to do directly with Perl/Tk (other than having the ability to generate Postscript).

I searched google groups for "perl/tk printer dialog" and found some useful stuff on the first page .. a few disucssions of possible modules for it, plus a mention of Win32::Printer as a solution (invokes the windows api calls to open the print dialog) i personally haven't used it, but hopefully it will work for your purposes.. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
Thanks D!!!!!!!!!!
I did search cpan.org for print. I should have searched for printer. I see the results now.
Thanks again, it's almost there!
