Re: simple printing question

You will need to do something like

- (void)printReceipt:(Transaction *)transToPrint
{
NSPrintOperation *op;

NSView *view = [[NSTextView alloc]
initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.0,0.0,200.0,10.0)]; // replace 200.0 with an
appropriate width
[view insertText:[transToPrint descriptionSummary]];

NSPrintInfo * pi = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo];
[pi setHorizontallyCentered:NO];
[pi setVerticallyCentered:NO];
[pi setLeftMargin:36.0]; // 36 points
[pi setTopMargin:36.0];
op = [NSPrintOperation printOperationWithView:view printInfo:pi];

[op setShowPanels:NO];
[op runOperation];

[view release]; // don't leak memory
}

There are a lot of things you may control with NSPrintInfo, including paper
size, margins and whether the view is centered vertically and horizontally.
