Printer variable
Provides access to the TPrinter instance for an application.
Declaration
Printer: TPrinter = NilDescription
Printer is a
TPrinter variable which can be used to
store a unit global printer instance. The value in Printer may contain a
derived class instance which implements a specific page description language
or printer-related technologies like CUPS. Its value may be assigned in
classes which have a specific implementation for a printer device. The value
in Printer is freed (when assigned) during finalization of the unit.
Additional printer types and OS-specific printer implementations are
available in the components/printers/ directory in the
printer4lazarus package. Add the osPrinters.pas
unit to your program if an Access Violation error occurs when using the
Printer variable.
